Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan was sitting in her small jewelry store, holding a delicate silver button in her hand, her brows furrowed.

The light in the store was dim, shining on her slightly tired face, making her look particularly haggard.

She sighed, put the buttons on the table, picked up her cell phone, and dialed her best friend Qianqian's number.

"Hey, Qianqian, where are you?" Zhou Wanwan's voice was a little hoarse, as if she had just cried.

"I'm at home, what's wrong?" A faint voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of laziness.

"Can you come to my shop? I have something to discuss with you." There was a hint of pleading in Zhou Wanwan's tone.

"Okay, I'll be there right away." Qianqian said and hung up the phone.

Zhou Wanwan put down her phone, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes. All she could think of was Zhao Yi's cold face.

And the vexing request she made - to combine jewelry with clothing buttons,

Design it to look like a camellia. Zhou Wanwan had thought about it, but it was too difficult.

She is a jewelry designer, not a fashion designer, and she has never touched things like buttons.

"Ding-ling——" The door of the shop was pushed open, and Qianqian walked in. She was wearing a loose sweater, her hair was tied casually behind her head, and there was a lazy smile on her face.

"What's wrong, Wanwan? You look like you're in trouble." Qianqian walked to Zhou Wanwan and patted her shoulder.

Zhou Wanwan opened her eyes, smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Don't mention it, Zhao Yi placed an order for me.

They asked me to combine jewelry and clothing buttons to create a camellia shape. Do you think I can take this job?"

Qianqian raised her eyebrows and sat on the chair opposite Zhou Wanwan: "Zhao Yi? The Zhao Yi who makes cashmere coats?"

"It's her." Zhou Wanwan sighed, "She said she wanted to design the buttons into different shapes of camellias.

Decorate her cashmere coat. But I know nothing about buttons, how can I design it? "

Qianqian smiled, picked up the silver button on the table, and looked at it carefully for a while: "This button is very delicate, how could you not understand it?"

"I just bought this button randomly. I didn't design it at all."

Zhou Wanwan shook her head helplessly, "Zhao Yi's requirements are too high. I don't know how to start."

Qianqian put down the button, leaned back in the chair, and looked at Zhou Wanwan thoughtfully: “Actually, this is not that difficult.

Think about it, isn't a camellia just petals? You can just design the buttons into the shape of petals and add some small decorations, right? "

Zhou Wanwan frowned: "It's easy for you to say it, but how to do it specifically? I'm not a fashion designer, I don't even understand the structure of buttons."

"You are just too rigid." Qianqian shook her head. "Design is about creativity.

It’s not about technique. You just need to express the beauty of the camellia, and you can slowly study the structure of the button.”

Zhou Wanwan was silent for a while, then nodded: "You're right, I might be too nervous. But Zhao Yi is pushing me hard, I'm afraid I won't have enough time."

"Time is not a problem. The key is that you have to have confidence." Qian Qian patted Zhou Wan Wan's hand.

"How about this, I'll design it with you, and we can figure it out together, which is better than you figuring it out alone."

The two began to discuss the specific details of the design. Although Qianqian is not a designer, she has always had a good eye for beauty.

He always comes up with some eye-catching ideas, while Zhou Wanwan is responsible for concretizing these ideas and drawing them into sketches.

"Look, this button can be designed into the shape of three petals, with a small stamen in the middle. How about it?" Qianqian said, pointing to a place on the sketch.

"Not bad, but I think the petals can be a little thinner to appear more elegant." Zhou Wanwan picked up the pen and made a few changes to the sketch.

"Yes, this will make it look more layered." Qianqian nodded.

"However, you have to think carefully about the structure of the buttons. After all, they are to be used on clothes, so they can't be too complicated."

"I know, I will pay attention to it." Zhou Wanwan nodded and continued to make changes to the sketch.

As time passed, their discussion became more and more in-depth, and the outline of an exquisite camellia button gradually emerged on the sketch.

Zhou Wanwan's mood gradually relaxed and she smiled more often.

"Wanwan, what do you think of this design?" Qianqian said, pointing to a place on the sketch.

Zhou Wanwan looked at it carefully and nodded: "Not bad, this design is very creative, but I think it can be simplified a little bit, after all, the size of the button is limited."

"You're right. I'll make some changes." Qianqian picked up the pen and continued to make changes to the sketch.

At this moment, the door of the store was pushed open again, and Zhao Yi walked in. She was wearing a black cashmere coat, with a grim smile on her face.

"How's the design going?" Zhao Yi's voice was cold, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.
