Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan stood behind the counter of the jewelry store, holding a piece of silver in her hand.

Her fingers gently stroked the silver ingot, as if she was touching a precious work of art.

The light in the store was soft, shining on her slightly tired face, but her eyes were unusually firm.

"Garlic flower..." she murmured softly, and the design she had been conceiving for a long time emerged in her mind.

Garlic flower is a plant that seems ordinary but is full of vitality. It has a simple shape but a unique charm.

Zhou Wanwan wanted to use silver blocks to create the shape of a garlic flower, giving it new vitality and making it the new signboard of the jewelry store.

"Wanwan, are you daydreaming again?" A crisp voice came from the door, interrupting her thoughts.

Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw her best friend Qianqian standing at the door, holding a bag of fruit and looking at her with a smile.

"Qianqian!" Zhou Wanwan exclaimed in surprise and quickly walked out from behind the counter, "Why are you here?"

"I came to see you. I heard that you have been working on a new design recently. I can't miss it."

Qianqian walked into the store with a smile and placed the fruit on the counter. "Here, I brought this for you. It's for your vitamin supplement."

Zhou Wanwan smiled, took the fruit, and felt warm in her heart.

Qianqian has been her best friend since childhood. The two grew up together, went to school together, worked together, and have a deep relationship.

Qianqian is a designer who is good at various creative designs. Zhou Wanwan has always admired her talent.

"You came at the right time. I was just worried that no one would help me look at this design."

Zhou Wanwan took Qianqian's hand, walked behind the counter, and pointed at the silver on the table.

"Look, I want to design a garlic flower shape with silver. What do you think?"

Qianqian took a closer look and frowned slightly, "Garlic flower? That's a fresh idea.

However, the texture of silver is relatively hard, and it may not be easy to make it as soft as garlic flowers."

"I know, that's why I asked you for help." Zhou Wanwan said with a smile.

"Aren't you the best at this kind of creative design? Help me see how to make the silver block softer?"

Qianqian pondered for a while, tapping her fingers on the table, "Hmm... the texture of the silver block is indeed a problem.

But if we can find a way to make it more similar in morphology to the garlic flower, maybe that could solve the problem.”

"For example?" Zhou Wanwan asked impatiently.

"For example, we can use some special techniques to create some fine textures on the surface of the silver block.

Adding to its layering." Qianqian said, picking up the silver nugget and examining it carefully.

"Or, we could use some other material to combine with the silver to increase its softness."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that! Qianqian, you're amazing!"

Qian Qian smiled and said, "Don't rush to praise me, this is just a preliminary idea. We need to study it further to figure out how to do it."

"It's okay. I'm not afraid as long as you're here." Zhou Wanwan held Qianqian's hand, her eyes full of anticipation. "Let's try it together, okay?"

Qianqian looked at Zhou Wanwan and was moved. She knew that Zhou Wanwan was a person with dreams.

She has always wanted to make her jewelry store better, and this design may be a key step in realizing her dream.

"Okay, let's try it together." Qianqian nodded with a firm look in her eyes.

The two sat behind the counter and began to discuss the details of the design.

Zhou Wanwan took out her notebook and carefully wrote down every suggestion from Qianqian.

Qianqian picked up the silver block and carefully studied its texture and shape, trying to find the best design solution.

Time passed by unknowingly, the lights in the store remained soft, shining on the two people's focused faces.

Zhou Wanwan's fingers slid quickly across the notebook, writing down sparks of inspiration.

Qianqian would pick up the silver ingot from time to time and rub it gently with her fingers, as if feeling its soul.

"Do you think we can add some fine patterns on the surface of the silver block?

Make it look more like garlic flowers?" Zhou Wanwan raised her head and asked.

Qianqian nodded, "You can try, but the shape and density of the pattern must be well controlled. It can't be too complicated, otherwise it will look messy."

"Then let's give it a try." Zhou Wanwan said, picked up the silver block and began to outline the pattern on it.

Zhou Wanwan was concentrating on sketching patterns on the silver block when suddenly,

There was a familiar sound of footsteps coming from the store entrance. She looked up and saw that it was her teacher, Master Zhongshan.

"Teacher!" Zhou Wanwan stood up in surprise, with a hint of surprise and respect in her eyes.

Master Zhongshan is a well-known jewelry designer in the industry. His works are not only well-known in China, but have also won many international awards.

Zhou Wanwan has always regarded him as a role model, and being able to receive his guidance is something she has always dreamed of.

"Wanwan, I heard that you were working on a new design, so I came to take a look."

Master Zhongshan walked into the store with a smile, his eyes gently sweeping over the silver bars and notebooks on the counter.

"Teacher, you've come at the right time. I was discussing this design with Qianqian." Zhou Wanwan quickly gave up her seat and let Master Zhongshan sit down.

Qianqian also stood up and greeted Master Zhongshan politely.

Although she was not from the jewelry design circle, she had heard of the name of Master Zhongshan and couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"What are you designing?" After sitting down, Master Zhongshan picked up the silver bar and looked at it carefully, frowning slightly.

"We are designing a piece of jewelry with garlic flowers, and we want to use silver to create the shape of garlic flowers."

Zhou Wanwan explained, with a hint of expectation in her tone, “Teacher, what do you think of this idea?”

Master Zhongshan pondered for a while, and gently stroked the surface of the silver with his fingers.

"Garlic flowers... This is an interesting idea, but the texture of silver is relatively hard, and it may not be easy to show the softness of garlic flowers."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian looked at each other, feeling a little disappointed. They had just discussed for a long time and encountered the same problem.

"However," Master Zhongshan changed the subject, a gleam of inspiration flashing in his eyes, "if we change our thinking, there may be unexpected results."

"Change your thinking?" Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian asked in unison, their eyes full of curiosity.

"Yes." Master Zhongshan nodded, "Have you ever thought about designing the garlic flower into the shape of a light bulb?"

"Light bulb?" Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian were stunned at the same time. They obviously did not expect Master Zhongshan to make such a suggestion.
