Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan stood in her small jewelry store, holding a freshly made pearl necklace in her hand, but her heart felt as irritated as if she had been scratched by a cat.

She sighed and put the necklace back into the display case, wondering if she should change her approach.

Just then, the shop door was pushed open and a man in a black windbreaker walked in.

He was not tall, but his eyes were sharp, as if he could see through people's hearts. Zhou Wanwan immediately perked up and greeted him with a smile.

"Welcome, what can I do for you?" she asked politely.

The man looked around, his eyes lingered on the display cabinet for a few seconds, then turned to Zhou Wanwan, his mouth slightly raised: "You are Zhou Wanwan, right?"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I am Zhou Wanwan. You are..."

"My name is Zhang Dian," the man introduced himself, with a hint of mystery in his tone, "I heard that you can make custom jewelry here, so I came here to take a look."

Zhou Wanwan was delighted and quickly said, "Yes, we can customize jewelry according to customer needs. Do you have any special requirements?"

Zhang Dian smiled, took out a candy from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Wanwan:

“Look, this is a candy I’ve been obsessed with lately, it tastes great but I think its appearance is too ordinary.

I want you to make it into jewelry, what do you think? "

Zhou Wanwan took the candy, looked at it carefully, and felt a little troubled.

Candy and jewelry, these are two completely different fields, she never thought of combining them.

She hesitated and said, "This... I have never made such a design before. It may take some time to study."

Zhang Dian nodded: "It's okay, I can wait. But I hope you can give me a plan as soon as possible."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but she felt a little uneasy. After seeing Zhang Dian off, she immediately took out her cell phone and called her best friend Qianqian.

"Qianqian, I'm in trouble." Zhou Wanwan couldn't wait to say as soon as the phone was connected.

"What's wrong? Someone's here to return goods again?" A shallow voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of ridicule.

"No, someone asked me to make the candy into the shape of jewelry, but I have no idea how to design it." Zhou Wanwan said distressedly.

Qianqian was silent for a few seconds, then laughed: “That’s an interesting idea.

But you do need to think about how to combine the two things.”

"I just don't know, so I asked you for help." Zhou Wanwan said helplessly.

"Okay, I'll help you think about it." Qian Qian said, "But you have to treat me to a meal."

"No problem, as long as you help me complete this design, I will treat you to a big meal." Zhou Wanwan agreed readily.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan felt a little relieved. She knew Qianqian was a person with a lot of ideas and would definitely be able to help her come up with a good idea.

Over the next few days, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian studied various candy and jewelry designs together, trying to find a way to perfectly combine them.

They tried different materials and techniques, but could not find a satisfactory solution.

Just when Zhou Wanwan was about to give up, Qianqian suddenly had an idea: "Wanwan, why don't we just use candy to make jewelry?"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment: "Use candy directly? Won't it melt?"

"We can use sugar art technology to make candies into various shapes, and then wrap them with transparent resin.

This way, the candy's appearance is preserved while preventing it from melting." Qianqian said excitedly.

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up: "Yes, why didn't I think of it! This is a great idea!"

They immediately took action and began to try to use sugar art techniques to make candies of various shapes, and then wrapped them with resin.

After several failures, they finally made a satisfactory sample - a crystal clear candy ring that looked like real jewelry.

Zhou Wanwan excitedly took the sample to find Zhang Dian, her heart full of expectations. She believed that this design would definitely impress him.

However, when she met Zhang Dian, his reaction was beyond her expectations.

"Is this the candy jewelry you designed?" Zhang Dian looked at the ring in his hand and frowned slightly.

Zhou Wanwan's heart tightened, and she asked cautiously, "Yes, what do you think?"

Zhang Dian was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head: "It's not special enough. I want a design that people can remember at first sight. This one is too ordinary."

Zhou Wanwan felt disappointed, but she still pulled herself together and asked, "Do you have any specific ideas? We can improve it."

Zhang Dian smiled, took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Zhou Wanwan: "This is a sketch I drew, see if you can make it."
