Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan’s jewelry store is located in an alley in the old city. She is a woman in her early thirties with a petite figure and a stubborn look in her eyes.

That evening, Zhou Wanwan was about to close the store when she suddenly found a necklace outside the store.

She picked it up and saw that it was a crystal necklace in the shape of a little fox, but it had been stepped on and broken, and the tail and body of the crystal fox were cracked.

Zhou Wanwan frowned, thinking it would be a pity to throw it away, so she took it into the jewelry store.

"Can this thing be repaired?" she said to herself, holding the broken necklace in her hand and looking at it carefully.

She thought about it and decided to ask her friend Qianqian to help. Qianqian was a skilled jewelry designer, and Zhou Wanwan thought she might have a solution.

"Qianqian, come over and help me take a look at this necklace. Can it be repaired?" Zhou Wanwan called Qianqian with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"What necklace? Did you pick it up?" Qianqian asked with a smile on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, I found it in front of the store. It's already broken. I thought it would be a pity to throw it away. Come and take a look."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

Not long after, Qianqian arrived. She was a tall woman, wearing a simple black dress, with her hair tied casually behind her head, looking capable and elegant.

"This is it, do you think it can be repaired?" Zhou Wanwan handed the necklace to Qianqian.

Qianqian took the necklace, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly.

"The crystal of this fox is badly broken. It can be repaired, but the effect may not be very good." Qianqian said.

"What should we do then?" Zhou Wanwan was a little disappointed.

"How about this, let's change it, maybe the effect will be better." Qianqian suggested.

"Change? How to change?" Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up.

"Look, the fox's tail and body are broken. We can remove the tail and turn the body into a pendant and then add a new chain. It will look more delicate this way." Qianqian said while gesturing with her hands.

Zhou Wanwan listened attentively and thought it was a good idea.

"Okay, let's do it!" She slapped her thigh and said excitedly.

The two started to work, Qianqian was responsible for the design and Zhou Wanwan was responsible for the production.

They polished the fox's body into an oval pendant, removed the tail, and then inlaid a few small diamonds on the pendant to add a touch of luxury.

Finally, they chose a thin silver chain and hung the pendant on it.

"How is it?" Qianqian handed the modified necklace to Zhou Wanwan.

Zhou Wanwan took the necklace, looked at it carefully, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

"It's really good, much better than before!" she exclaimed.

"Yeah, I said it would be better if you change it." Qianqian said proudly.

Zhou Wanwan carefully placed the altered necklace on the counter, but felt a little uneasy.

She always felt that the owner of the necklace might come back to look for it, after all, the diamond inlaid on the pendant was very valuable.

"Qianqian, do you think we should post a notice in the store to see if we can find the owner of this necklace?" Zhou Wanwan asked.

Qianqian nodded, "I think it's okay. After all, this necklace doesn't look like an ordinary thing."

So Zhou Wanwan posted a notice at the door of the store, which read: "We found a crystal fox necklace in our store. It has been repaired. If there is any owner, please come and claim it."

A few days passed, and there was still no movement in the store. Zhou Wanwan was a little disappointed, but she did not give up. She decided to wait a few more days. If no one came to claim the necklace, she would put it on sale in the store.

Just when she was about to give up, a young woman walked into the store. She looked a little anxious, looking around, as if looking for something.

"Excuse me, did you pick up a crystal fox necklace here?" the woman asked, her voice trembling.

Zhou Wanwan was delighted and quickly went over to greet him, "Yes, we found a necklace and it has been repaired. Are you its owner?"

The woman nodded, tears flashing in her eyes. "Yes, that necklace is my mother's heirloom, and it is very important to me. I accidentally lost it that day, and I couldn't find it after searching for several days. I didn't expect it to be here."

Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. "Great, we have been waiting for you to claim it. Please follow me, I will take you to see the necklace."

She took the woman to the counter and carefully took out the modified necklace. The woman took the necklace and looked at it carefully, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Thank you, thank you so much. This necklace means so much to me, and I thought I would never get it back," the woman said, choking up.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and shook her head. "You're welcome. We just did what we should do. Can you tell me the story of this necklace?"

The woman nodded and began to tell her story.

It turned out that this necklace was a birthday gift her mother gave her when she was a child. After her mother passed away, this necklace became her only memory of her mother.

She accidentally lost her necklace that day and was very sad, but she didn't expect to find it back.

After listening to the woman's story, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian were both very moved.

They decided to give the necklace to the woman for free as a consolation for her loss of her mother.

"This necklace has no meaning to us anymore, but it is very important to you. We decided to give it to you, hoping it can bring you some comfort," said Zhou Wanwan.

The woman was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears. "Thank you, thank you so much. I will definitely cherish this necklace."

Tang Shuang wiped her tears, held Zhou Wanwan's hand tightly, and said gratefully: "Wanwan, I really don't know how to thank you.

This necklace means so much to me, and you not only helped me find it, but you gave it to me for free. I am so touched."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and shook her head, "You don't have to be so polite. We just did what we should do. However, I have a small request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

Tang Shuang looked at Zhou Wanwan with some doubt, "What request? As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and said with courage: "In fact, I have always admired you. You are a famous designer, and I have dreamed of becoming a jewelry designer since I was a child."

"I heard there's an international jewelry design competition coming up soon, and I'd really like to participate, but I don't have the confidence. Can you give me some advice?"

After hearing what Zhou Wanwan said, Tang Shuang's eyes flashed with surprise, and then she revealed a gentle smile, "So that's how it is."

"Wanwan, your craftsmanship is really good. The design and production of this fox necklace are both excellent. I believe you have the potential to become an excellent designer."

Qianqian interjected: "Yes, Wanwan's craftsmanship is really great. Many customers in our store praise her unique and exquisite designs."

Tang Shuang nodded and said, "In that case, I have a suggestion. Wanwan, you can consider designing a series of works based on this fox necklace."

"The design of this necklace is very creative. You can build on it and design more related jewelry."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up, "A series of works? That's a good idea! But how should I do it?"
