Reborn Troops

Zhou Wanwan nodded, feeling a little uneasy. She knew that the design of this ring was the key to her store's success.

If it succeeds, she might be able to attract more customers, but if it fails, she might waste a lot of money.

"Then shall we go find him now?" she asked tentatively.

"Now?" Qianqian looked at the sky outside the window which had already darkened, "Tomorrow, it's too late today.

Besides, we have to prepare the design drawings first, otherwise he might think we are unprofessional.”

"Okay." Zhou Wanwan nodded, but she couldn't wait. She picked up the pen and began to carefully modify the sketch, striving to make every detail perfect.

The next morning, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian came to the jewelry designer's studio with the design drawings.

"This is it." Qianqian pointed at the wooden sign, pushed open the door and walked in.

The studio was dimly lit and the air was filled with a mixed smell of metal and wood.

A middle-aged man was sitting at a workbench, fiddling with a gem with a pair of tiny tweezers in his hands.

Qianqian seemed to have long been accustomed to his attitude, and walked forward with a smile: "Lao Li, it's me, Qianqian."

The man then raised his head, glanced at Qianqian, and said in a slightly softer tone: "Oh, it's you. How come you have time to come to my place today?"

"My friend has a design and needs your help." Qianqian pointed at Zhou Wanwan behind her.

Zhou Wanwan walked forward nervously and handed over the design drawing: "Mr. Li, this is the ring I designed. I would like to ask you to see if you can make it."

Lao Li took the design and looked at it carefully, frowning slightly:

"Cage? Diamond? This design is interesting, but the craftsmanship required is very high. Are you sure you want to do it?"

Zhou Wanwan felt nervous when she heard what Lao Li said, but she still nodded firmly: "Yes, we are determined to do it. This design is very important to us."

Lao Li put down the design, looked up at Zhou Wanwan, then glanced at Qianqian.

His tone was still cold: “Do you know how much time and cost this kind of design takes?

Especially the mechanism of this cage, if there is even a slight error, the whole ring will be ruined."

Qianqian quickly took over the conversation: "Lao Li, we know this is not easy, so we came to you.

You are the best jewelry designer we know, no one else can do this."

Old Li snorted, seemingly not buying into Qianqian's compliment: "Don't try that. I have a few big orders on hand recently, so I don't have time to take on small jobs like this."

When Zhou Wanwan heard this, her heart sank, and she couldn’t help but take a step forward: “Mr. Li, this design is really important to me.

It is not just a ring, it also carries my understanding and expression of marriage. If you can help, I am willing to pay a higher fee. "

Old Li frowned, seeming a little surprised by Zhou Wanwan's persistence.

He was silent for a while, and finally spoke: "The cost is not the problem, the problem is time. How long do you want it to be completed?"

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian looked at each other, and Qianqian said tentatively: "Within a month, is that okay?"

"One month?" Old Li sneered, "Do you think this is making a toy?

The mechanism of the cage alone would take at least two weeks. Add in the diamonds and pearls, and a month is simply not possible.”

Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Li! We will definitely cooperate with your work to the fullest."

Old Li waved his hand, indicating that they could leave: "Okay, you can go back first. Leave the design drawings behind, I need to study them carefully."

Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian walked out of the studio. The sunlight outside shone on them, but Zhou Wanwan still felt heavy in her heart.

Qianqian patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't worry, although Lao Li has a weird temper, his craftsmanship is really impeccable. As long as he promises, he will definitely try his best to do it."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, feeling a little more at ease. She looked up at the sky and prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the ring could be made successfully.

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan went to Lao Li's studio almost every day.

Not only did she bring more design details, she also personally selected the diamonds and pearls.

Lao Li's serious attitude towards her seemed to have changed, and he would occasionally take the initiative to discuss some technical issues with her.
