Reborn Troops

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Guo immediately returned to the studio and began drawing design sketches.

He used a pencil to outline the outline of the box lid on paper, leaving a circular space in the middle to inlay the pearls.

He designed the surrounding mangosteen branches and leaves to be more complex, as if the pearls were growing naturally from the branches and leaves.

Just as he was immersed in the design, the door of the studio was pushed open.

Qianqian poked her head out and asked with a smile, "Brother Zhou Guo, what are you busy with? Why do you look so serious?"

Zhou Guo raised his head, smiled and waved: "Qianqian, you're here just in time! I have a new idea and I want to hear your opinion."

Qianqian came over and saw the design sketch on the table, her eyes lit up:

"Wow, is this a combination of pearls and mangosteen box? So beautiful! Is this the pearl you saw just now?"

Zhou Guo's eyes lit up and he patted the table excitedly: "Qianqian, you are right! Pink pearl interface... this idea is great!

We can design the lining of the entire box to be pink to match the color of the pearls, so that the overall effect will be more harmonious.”

Qianqian tilted her head and thought about it carefully: "Well, it's really good.

But what material would be better for the pink lining? Silk? Or velvet? "

Zhou Guo frowned and tapped the tabletop with his fingers: "Silk is too smooth, maybe not textured enough."

“Although flannel feels good, the color tends to look dull.

How about... we use that pink satin with pearls? It's soft and shiny, and it matches the texture of the pearls."

Qianqian nodded and smiled approvingly: "That sounds like a good idea! But, this kind of material may not be easy to find, right?"

Zhou Guo smiled and said in a relaxed tone: "It's okay, my sister knows a lot of friends who are engaged in jewelry design.

She should be able to help me find the right material. However, the problem now is that the design of the lid needs to be further refined.

The sketch I just drew was a little too simple, and the connection between the pearls and the branches and leaves was not natural enough."

Qianqian took a closer look at the sketch, pointed at the edge of the box lid and said:

“I think the branches and leaves here can be extended a little bit, like vines, winding around the side of the box, so that the overall feeling will be stronger.

Also, the position of the pearl can be slightly off center, not completely in the center, so it looks more stylish."

Zhou Guo's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up a pencil to modify the sketch: "Yes! This design of a pearl-faced jewelry box does have a more layered feel!"

Qianqian smiled and waved her hand: "Don't praise me, I was just talking casually.

But, Brother Zhou Guo, are you really planning to make this box yourself?

Inlaying pearls is not an easy task, especially when carving branches and leaves. It must require very high craftsmanship, right?"

Zhou Guo sighed, his tone somewhat helpless: "Yeah, I'm worried too.

Although I have some basic knowledge of woodworking, I am not sure about delicate work like jewelry inlay.

However, my sister has promised to help me contact a friend who is a jewelry designer, and I hope I can learn some skills from him. "

Qianqian blinked and suddenly said, "How about...I can help too?

Although I don’t know much about jewelry design, I can help you with some things like polishing wood and sorting materials.”

Zhou Guo was a little surprised and looked up at Qian Qian: "Are you willing to help?

That’s great! But it can be tiring, so don’t give up halfway.”

Qianqian patted her chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, I am very determined!

Besides, I am looking forward to participating in such an interesting project!"

The two were chatting animatedly when the door of the studio was pushed open again. Zhou Wanwan walked in with a folder in her hand.

She saw Zhou Guo and Qian Qian huddled together and asked with a smile, "What are you two talking about? You seem so engrossed."

Zhou Guo raised his head and said excitedly: "Sister, you came at the right time!

Qianqian and I just discussed the design and we think we can make the lining of the box pink satin to match the color of the pearls. What do you think? "

Zhou Wanwan walked to the table, looked at the sketch, nodded and said, "Well, this is a good idea. However, it may take me some time to find the pink satin material.

In addition, I just contacted Master Zhongshan, and he promised to come over tomorrow to take a look at your design and give you some advice."

Zhou Guo breathed a sigh of relief, with a grateful smile on his face: "Great! Sister, you are really my savior."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and shook her head: "Don't be too happy too soon, Master Zhongshan is a very demanding person.

You have to be mentally prepared. By the way, Qianqian, why are you here too? "

Qian Qian said with a grin, "Sister Wan Wan, I just agreed to help Zhou Guo and complete this work together."

Zhou Wanwan raised her eyebrows and said in a teasing tone: "Oh? Then you must cooperate well and humbly ask Master Zhongshan for advice..."
