Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan was standing in her small jewelry store, holding a freshly polished round silver ring in her hand, her eyes a little vague.

The light in the store was dim, shining on her slightly tired face, making her look particularly lonely.

She sighed softly, placed the ring on the counter, and turned to tidy up the shelves that had accumulated dust.

"This business is getting harder and harder." She muttered to herself, her voice so low that it was almost inaudible.

The shop door was suddenly pushed open, and a gust of cold wind blew in. Zhou Wanwan subconsciously shrank her neck.

When she looked up, it was her friend Qianqian, holding a bag of steaming buns in her hand and a bright smile on her face.

"Wanwan, I brought you breakfast!" Qianqian said as she put the buns on the counter, picked up the round silver ring and looked at it carefully.

"Wow, this ring is nice, is it a new design?" Qianqian raised her eyebrows with a hint of teasing in her tone.

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but her face didn't show much joy. "Yes, I've been researching circular-themed jewelry recently, wondering if it can attract some customers."

Qianqian put down the ring, patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder, and said firmly:

"Wanwan, don't be discouraged. I think your idea is good. The circle symbolizes perfection and harmony. Who doesn't like it?"

Zhou Wanwan stood in front of the counter, looking at the round silver ring in Qianqian's hand, feeling a little complicated.

Just as she was about to say something, the door of the store was pushed open again. This time, it was not a customer who came in, but her teacher, Teacher Li.

Teacher Li held a design drawing in his hand with a gentle smile on his face.

She walked up to Zhou Wanwan, spread the drawings on the counter, and said softly:

"Wanwan, I heard that you were researching circular-themed jewelry, so I came here to take a look and bring you some inspiration."

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She leaned over and looked at the drawing carefully.

The drawings show various overlapping circular designs with smooth lines and ingenious ideas, and each ring is full of artistic sense.

"Teacher, this...did you design this?" Zhou Wanwan asked in disbelief.

Teacher Li nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I suddenly thought of it last night.

Although the circle is simple, it can create endless possibilities through different overlaps and combinations.

You see, this ring has two interlaced circles, symbolizing encounter and fusion;

This time, three circles overlap to represent the connection between the past, present and future.”

Zhou Wanwan listened attentively, her fingers gently touching every detail on the drawing. A warm current gradually surged in her heart, as if she had found a new direction.

"Teacher, you are so awesome!" Zhou Wanwan exclaimed sincerely.

Teacher Li waved his hand and said in a gentle tone: "Wanwan, the most important thing about design is to be attentive.

You have been working hard, but you may have encountered some bottlenecks recently. Don't worry, take your time, inspiration will come. "

Qianqian was listening at the side and couldn't help but interrupt, "Teacher Li, you are so right!

Wanwan has been a little anxious lately, and I'm worried that she's pushing herself too hard."

Zhou Wanwan smiled shyly and whispered, "Yes, business has not been very good recently.

I was thinking about whether I could design something special to attract customers. But the more I thought about it, the more I felt I had no idea, and I became even more anxious. ”

Teacher Li patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder and said firmly:

“Anxiety is normal, but don’t let it trap you. Design requires relaxation and finding inspiration from life.

How about this, I'll take you to a nearby park this afternoon and see if we can find some new ideas."

Zhou Wanwan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Okay, thank you teacher."

In the afternoon, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. Zhou Wanwan and Teacher Li were strolling along the path in the park.

Surrounded by lush trees and blooming flowers. Teacher Li walked, pointed at the surrounding scenery, and said softly:

"Wanwan, look, does the shape of this leaf look like a circle? And the petals of that flower, stacked up layer by layer, also look like a circle, don't they?"

Zhou Wanwan looked in the direction where Teacher Li pointed and indeed found many circular elements.

She gradually relaxed and began to carefully observe every detail around her.

"Teacher, I think I understand a little bit." Zhou Wanwan said softly, "A circle is not just a shape, it can also represent many emotions and stories."

Teacher Li smiled and nodded: "Yes, design is to draw inspiration from life and integrate emotions into it.

Look, the lake is as calm as a mirror, and it also looks like a circle, right? It symbolizes tranquility and peace.”

Zhou Wanwan looked at the lake, and suddenly an impulse surged in her heart. She took out the notebook she carried with her,

She began to sketch quickly, her pen tip flying across the paper, as if to record all her inspiration.

Teacher Li stood aside, looking at her quietly, with a gratified smile on her face.

Back in the store, Zhou Wanwan couldn't wait to start making new jewelry. Based on the inspiration she got in the afternoon, she designed a series of works with the theme of circle.

Each ring is full of unique charm, some symbolize encounter, some represent tranquility, and some express the passage of time.

When Qianqian saw these new works, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wanwan, these rings are so beautiful! I think they will be very popular!"

Zhou Wanwan smiled, but she was still a little nervous: "I hope so, but it still depends on the customer's reaction."

A few days later, the store welcomed several new customers. They were attracted by Zhou Wanwan's new works and tried them on and bought them. Zhou Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw their satisfied smiles.

Zhou Wanwan's mood gradually improved, and she began to devote herself to the new design with confidence. However, life is always full of unexpected twists and turns.

One weekend afternoon, a mysterious customer came to the store.

He was wearing a pair of sunglasses and a black windbreaker, giving people a mysterious feeling.

He walked straight to Zhou Wanwan's design counter and carefully observed each ring.

"Did you design all these rings?" His voice was low and magnetic.

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said proudly: "Yes, these are all my works."

The mysterious customer took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of sharp eyes. His gaze stayed on Zhou Wanwan for a moment.

Then he said, "Your design is very unique. Can you come to my studio to talk about it?"

Zhou Wanwan was a little hesitant. She had never encountered such a situation before. Qianqian encouraged her, "Wanwan, this is a good opportunity. You must seize it."

So Zhou Wanwan accepted the invitation of the mysterious customer. The next afternoon, she came to a modern building in the city center.

The elevator door opened, revealing a spacious studio with walls covered with various works of art.
