Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan sat in her small jewelry shop, holding a piece of polished jade in her hand, her eyes focused and determined.

Her fingers slid lightly across the surface of the jade, as if feeling its vitality.

The light in the store was soft, shining on her slightly tired face, but it couldn't hide the passion in her eyes.

"Wanwan, do you really want to do this?" Qianqian's voice came from the door, with a hint of worry.

Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw Qianqian standing at the door with a cup of coffee in her hand.

Qianqian has been her best friend for many years. The two grew up together and can talk about anything.

Qianqian always has an innocent smile on her face, but today, her smile was a little more serious.

"Qianqian, you're here." Zhou Wanwan smiled, put down the jadeite in her hand, stood up to greet her.

Qianqian walked into the store, put the coffee on the counter, and then sat opposite Zhou Wanwan.

Her eyes swept around the store and finally stopped on Zhou Wanwan's face.

"Wanwan, I know you want to make your business better, but don't you think this is too risky?" There was a hint of uneasiness in Qianqian's voice.

Zhou Wanwan sighed, sat back in her chair, and crossed her hands over her chest. Her eyes became a little confused, as if she was thinking about something.

"Qianqian, you know, I've been looking for ways to make jewelry more attractive." Zhou Wanwan's voice was low and firm.

"The market competition is too fierce now. If I don't do something, this store may not be able to survive."

Qianqian frowned, she knew Zhou Wanwan was telling the truth.

This jewelry store is Zhou Wanwan's hard work. She has invested all her savings and energy in it, but the business has always been lukewarm.

Zhou Wanwan has been looking for a breakthrough, and this time, she decided to play with the color of the jewelry.

"But, Wanwan, don't you think this will make the jewelry look unnatural?" There was a hint of pleading in Qianqian's voice.

"The beauty of jewelry lies in its naturalness and purity. If the color is changed, is it still the original jewelry?"

Zhou Wanwan was silent for a while, and her eyes became a little complicated.

Zhou Wanwan's gaze shifted away from Qianqian's face and turned to the jade on the counter.

She ran her fingers lightly over the surface of the emerald once more, as if searching for some answer.

Qianqian's words echoed in her ears, making her fall into deep thought.

Just then, the wind chimes at the door of the store rang softly, and a familiar figure walked in. Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw that it was her teacher, Master Zhongshan.

Master Zhongshan is a famous jewelry designer and also Zhou Wanwan’s mentor.

His arrival made Zhou Wanwan feel a little surprised, but more of an anticipation.

"Teacher Zhongshan, why are you here?" Zhou Wanwan stood up and walked forward.

Master Zhongshan smiled and nodded, his eyes swept around the store, finally stopping on Zhou Wanwan's face.

"Wanwan, I heard that you've been trying some new design concepts recently, so I came to take a look."

Zhou Wanwan was a little surprised, but soon regained her composure. She nodded and motioned for Master Zhongshan to sit down. Qianqian also stood up and greeted Master Zhongshan.

After Master Zhongshan sat down, his eyes fell on the jade again. "Wanwan, I heard that you are considering changing the color of the jewelry, is that right?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded, with a hint of determination in her eyes. "Yes, teacher.

I feel that the market competition is too fierce now. If I don’t do something, this store may not be able to survive.”

Master Zhongshan smiled slightly, with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes. "Wanwan, do you know why I like jewelry design?"

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and waited for the teacher's answer.

"Because jewelry has a soul." Master Zhongshan's voice is low and powerful, "Each piece of jewelry has its own unique vitality.

This vitality comes from its naturalness and purity. If you change its color, you are changing its soul.”

Zhou Wanwan's heart was shocked. She didn't expect the teacher to say such a thing.

Qianqian nodded silently, as if agreeing with Master Sun Yat-sen's point of view.

"But, teacher, if I don't change the color, how can I make the jewelry more attractive?" There was a hint of confusion in Zhou Wanwan's voice.

Master Zhongshan smiled slightly, took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Wanwan. "This is a piece of jewelry I designed recently, take a look."

Zhou Wanwan took the box and opened it, revealing an exquisite ring inside. The ring was made of pure silver and inlaid with a small jadeite.

The color of jade is not bright, but it has a faint green hue, as if it carries a mysterious power.

"The design of this ring is inspired by nature." Master Zhongshan's voice is soft but powerful. "You see, the color of this jade is not bright.

But it has a unique charm. This is because I deliberately preserved the natural texture and color of jade when designing it. "

Zhou Wanwan carefully observed the ring and found that the surface of the jadeite did have subtle textures.

It seemed like a masterpiece of nature. She felt inexplicably moved, as if she was shocked by the beauty of the ring.
