Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said excitedly: "Teacher, I will start to revise the design draft now!"

Zhou Wanwan was concentrating on revising the design draft when the shop door was pushed open again and the sound of wind chimes was crisp and pleasant.

She looked up and saw her younger brother Zhou Guo walking in with a bag of fruit in his hand.

"Sister, I brought you some fruit. Don't be so busy with work all the time. You also need to take care of your health."

Zhou Guo smiled and put the fruit on the counter. His eyes fell on the design draft in her hand. "Are you designing a new work again?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded, with a hint of fatigue in her eyes, but more excitement:

"Yeah, the design this time is a bit complicated, but I think it's quite interesting."

Zhou Guo leaned over to take a look at the design, frowning slightly: "Grasshopper necklace?

Sister, isn't your design a bit too abstract? Is there really anyone who likes something like a grasshopper?"

Zhou Wanwan smiled and explained: "The jumping of the grasshopper symbolizes the turning point of fate. I want to express this dynamic beauty through design.

You see, this is the inspiration that Master Zhongshan gave me. The grasshopper’s body is designed to be spiral-shaped. When you wear it around your neck, it will rotate slightly with your movements, as if it is jumping.”

Zhou Guo nodded thoughtfully, but still had some doubts:

"It sounds interesting, but, sister, have you ever thought about whether this design is too complicated? Will customers understand it?"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then sighed: “I am also worried about this problem.

Design can be interesting, but if customers can’t understand it, then the best design is useless.”

Zhou Guo patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Sister, don't worry too much.

Design is a form of expression. As long as you like it, there will always be someone who will appreciate it.

However, I think you could try to simplify the design to make it more appealing to the general public.”

Zhou Wanwan nodded, with a hint of thought in her eyes: "You are right, maybe I should consider simplifying the design."

Just then, the shop door was pushed open again, and Qianqian walked in with a document in her hand.

"Wanwan, I have good news to tell you!" Qianqian said excitedly with a smile on her face.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head and asked doubtfully, "What good news?"

Qianqian handed her the document and said, "I just received an invitation to an exhibition. The organizer is very interested in your design and would like to invite you to participate in the jewelry design exhibition next month!"

Zhou Wanwan took the document, looked at it carefully, and her eyes gradually lit up: "This... This is really great! But, my grasshopper necklace is not finished yet."

Qianqian smiled and said, "Isn't this perfect? ​​You can display your new work at the exhibition, maybe it will attract a lot of attention!"

Zhou Guo also echoed, "Sister, this is a good opportunity! You have to hurry up and finish the design."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, her eyes full of determination: “Okay, I will finish it as soon as possible!”

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan devoted herself to the design.

Following Master Zhongshan's advice, she designed the grasshopper's body into a spiral shape.

At the same time, she simplified some complex details to make the overall design more smooth and natural. However, just when she was about to complete the design, an accident happened.

"Sister, something bad has happened!" Zhou Guo hurried into the store, his face full of anxiety.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Zhou Guo panted and said, "I just heard that the organizer of the exhibition changed the theme temporarily.

All entries must conform to the theme of 'Nature and Harmony'. Your grasshopper necklace may not meet their requirements."

Zhou Wanwan was stunned and the pen in her hand fell to the ground: "How could this happen? My design is obviously about nature!"

Qianqian also walked in, with a trace of worry on her face: "Wanwan, I just received a call from the organizer.

They do require that the pieces fit the new theme. Your grasshopper necklace, you might need to readjust it.”

Zhou Wanwan felt powerless. She looked at the design draft on the table, feeling lost.

"But I've already spent so much time on it. There's simply not enough time to redesign it now."

Zhou Guo patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Sister, don't be discouraged. Maybe we can find a way to adjust the design to make it more in line with the theme."

Qianqian also nodded: "Yes, Wanwan, your design is very close, it only needs a few minor modifications and it should meet the requirements."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down: "Okay, I'll think of a solution."

She picked up the pen again and began to modify the design. She made the grasshopper's body softer.

More natural elements, such as leaves and flowers, are added to make the overall design closer to the theme of "nature and harmony".

However, just as she was about to complete the revision, another problem arose.

"Sister, I just received a call from the factory. They said your design is too complicated and cannot be produced in a short time." Zhou Guo said helplessly.

Zhou Wanwan felt desperate. She looked at the design draft in her hand, feeling helpless. "Should I really give up?"

Qianqian walked up to her, held her hand, and said firmly: "Wanwan, don't give up. We still have time, maybe we can ask other factories for help."

Zhou Guo also nodded: "Yes, sister, we can try other factories, maybe we can find one willing to take the order."

Zhou Wanwan looked at them, and confidence gradually returned to her eyes: "Okay, let's try again."

They began to contact other factories, but most of them said they could not complete such a complex design in a short time.

Just when they were about to give up, a small studio offered to give it a try.

"Sister, this studio said they can give it a try, but they need your personal guidance." Zhou Guo said excitedly.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, with hope in her eyes: "Okay, I'll go right away!"

She rushed to the studio with her design. The studio masters carefully studied her design.

Although it was complicated, it was not impossible to complete. Under Zhou Wanwan's guidance, they began to work overtime to produce it.

A few days later, the grasshopper necklace was finally completed. Zhou Wanwan looked at the finished product in her hands, her eyes filled with joy and pride.

"Sister, this is amazing! This necklace is simply perfect!" Zhou Guo exclaimed.

Qianqian also smiled and said, "Wanwan, your efforts have not been in vain. This necklace will definitely become the focus of the exhibition!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled, her heart full of anticipation: "I hope so."

On the day of the exhibition, Zhou Wanwan came to the scene with her grasshopper necklace. Her booth was crowded with people, and everyone praised her design.

"This necklace is so unique! The jumping of the grasshopper is perfectly expressed!" exclaimed a customer.

"Yes, this design is both creative and full of natural beauty," agreed another customer.
