Reborn Troops

After Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian said goodbye to Chen Mei's studio, they felt obviously much more relaxed.

Zhou Wanwan said to Qianqian: "I didn't expect Chen Mei's suggestions to be so useful. It seems that I really need to try more new materials."

Qian Qian smiled and said, "Yes, although Chen Mei is arrogant, she is indeed talented. However, you have to be careful not to be affected by her attitude."

Zhou Wanwan shook her head: "No, I think her criticism makes sense.

Design cannot just pursue visual effects, but also needs to consider practical feasibility.”

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan began to try to make a shell-shaped gripper using resin material.

She kept tweaking the design and experimenting, but it always felt like something was missing.

She felt a little depressed and even began to doubt whether she was really suited to design.

On this day, Zhou Wanwan came to the beach alone, hoping to find inspiration from nature.

She walked on the beach, watching the waves wash over the beach again and again, taking away old traces and leaving new traces.

She looked at the shells washed ashore by the waves, and suddenly her eyes lit up.

She found that these shells exuded a charming luster under the sunlight.

And their shapes are different, some look like flowers, some look like feathers, and some look like starships.

She suddenly realized what she was missing, which was the vitality and uniqueness of the shell.

Zhou Wanwan returned to the studio and excitedly told Qianqian about her discovery: "Qianqian, I understand now. The reason why shells are beautiful is because of their beauty.

The reason why they are unique is that each of them is unique and has its own vitality and story.

I should incorporate this vitality and story into my design, making each gripper as unique as a shell."

Qianqian listened, smiled and nodded: "That's right, Wanwan, you finally found your direction.

Every gripper should be unique, just like every shell.”

Zhou Wanwan was inspired to redesign her gripper. She used resin to make shells of various shapes.

Then various gemstones are inlaid on it, and each clip is like a unique shell, emitting charming light.

Her designs were quickly welcomed by the market and were even hailed as "artworks in the jewelry world."

Zhou Wanwan's design career began to flourish and her name began to spread in the design world.

On this day, Zhou Wanwan came to Chen Mei's studio again. The difference was that this time she came with a successful design.

She put her design on Chen Mei's desk. Chen Mei took a look and her expression changed slightly.

Zhou Wanwan said calmly: “Chen Mei, I used the advice you gave me and found my own direction.

I know you treated me badly before, but I still want to thank you because your criticism made me grow. "

Chen Mei looked at Zhou Wanwan, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said:

“Zhou Wanwan, your design is indeed unique, and I did talk about some of your problems.

But I hope you understand that my criticism is not directed at you, but at your design.

In the design world, only by constantly criticizing and accepting criticism can we make continuous progress.”

Zhou Wanwan nodded: "I understand, Chen Mei. Everyone has their own style and philosophy.

We need to learn to respect and understand others in order to grow better.”

Chen Mei looked at Zhou Wanwan, with a hint of admiration in her eyes:

"Zhou Wanwan, you have indeed grown up, and your designs are indeed very unique.

I hope you can continue to maintain this innovative spirit and let the design world see more unique works. "

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Thank you, Chen Mei. I will continue to work hard."

Zhou Wanwan walked out of Chen Mei's studio. Although she felt relaxed, she felt a little uneasy deep down in her heart.

She always felt that Chen Mei's reaction just now was a little strange, especially the moment when she was looking at the design drawings.

Zhou Wanwan shook her head, trying to shake off the uneasy feeling. She told herself,

After all, Chen Mei is a senior in the design industry. Perhaps it was just because her design was so outstanding that Chen Mei was a little surprised.

However, this uneasy feeling did not go away, but instead grew stronger over time.

A few days later, Zhou Wanwan happened to see Chen Mei’s new work at a design exhibition - a design that was very similar to her shell gripper.

Zhou Wanwan's heart sank suddenly. She quickly walked to the booth and looked at the design carefully.

Although there are some differences in the details, the overall style and creativity are almost identical to her designs.

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhou Wanwan's mind in an instant. She couldn't believe her eyes, nor could she believe that Chen Mei would do such a thing.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, then turned and left the exhibition.

After returning to the studio, Zhou Wanwan immediately turned on the computer and called up her previous design drawings for comparison with Chen Mei's design.

The more she looked at them, the more shocked she became; the two designs were so similar that they could almost be said to be identical.

Zhou Wanwan's fingers trembled slightly on the keyboard. She didn't know what to do, nor did she know whether she should go to confront Chen Mei.

Zhou Wanwan sits in front of the computer in the studio, with her shell gripper design and Chen Mei's new work displayed side by side on the screen.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, trying to find more detailed differences, but the more she looked, the more powerless she felt.

Her designs were clearly created bit by bit by herself, so how could they be so similar to Chen Mei's works?

Her thoughts were in a mess, and Chen Mei's expression in the studio kept replaying in her mind.

The slightly changed expression, the brief silence, and the words "Your design is indeed unique."

Zhou Wanwan's heart beat faster, and she suddenly realized that maybe Chen Mei was not surprised, but felt guilty.

Suddenly, the door of the jewelry studio was gently pushed open and Master Zhongshan walked in.

He was wearing a simple grey shirt, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand and with a gentle smile on his face.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? You don't look well." Master Zhongshan asked with concern.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head and saw the teacher's familiar face, and the uneasiness in her heart was slightly relieved.

She took a deep breath and pointed to the computer screen: "Teacher, look at this..."

Master Zhongshan walked to the computer and carefully looked at the two design drawings on the screen.

His brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes moved back and forth between the two pictures.

After a moment, he turned his head and looked at Zhou Wanwan: "What's going on?"

Zhou Wanwan bit her lower lip, her voice trembling:

"This is my design, and this is Chen Mei's new work. Teacher, do you think... they are too similar?"

Master Zhongshan was silent for a moment, then slowly said: “Indeed, the similarity is very high.

However, similar ideas sometimes appear in the design world, after all, the inspiration may be the same. Are you sure this is your original design? "

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said firmly: "Teacher, this is designed by me.

I polished every detail myself. I never showed the design to anyone except... except Chen Mei. "

Master Zhongshan's eyes became deep, and he gently patted Zhou Wanwan's shoulder:
