Reborn Troops

Qianqian also stood up and greeted politely, "Hello, Mr. Zhongshan."

Master Zhongshan nodded, glanced at the sketch on the table, and frowned slightly, "Are you planning to use hexagonal crystals?"

"Yes." Qianqian explained, "We looked up the information and found that the ice crystals of rime are hexagonal, so we want to be as close to nature as possible."

Master Zhongshan shook his head, his tone gentle but firm, “Although the hexagon conforms to the natural form, in jewelry design, beauty is more important.

The hexagonal shape is too hard and not soft enough when worn around the neck. It would be better to design it into a round shape.”

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, looked at Qianqian hesitantly, then looked at the teacher.

"But... the customer wants the feeling of rime. Wouldn't a hexagon be closer to that?"

Master Zhongshan smiled, took out a sketchbook from his briefcase, and opened a page with several sketches of round pendants.

“You see, round crystals can be polished to be smoother, with softer edges, so they won’t look obtrusive when worn around the neck.

Moreover, we can design a layer of matte effect inside the crystal, which not only retains the haziness of the rime, but also increases the beauty.”

Qianqian leaned over to take a look, her eyes lit up, "This design is really good. The matte effect makes the crystal look like it is covered by a layer of mist, which is very artistic."

Zhou Wanwan also nodded, but she was still a little uneasy, "But...what about the customer? He has agreed to the hexagonal design."

Master Zhongshan closed his sketchbook and said calmly, "Design is to meet the needs of customers.

But also consider the comfort and aesthetics of wearing it. You can show him both designs and let him choose for himself.”

Zhou Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Okay, I'll try."

Qianqian patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the customers will understand."

Master Zhongshan looked at the time and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys continue the discussion, and feel free to contact me if you have any questions."

"Thank you, teacher." Zhou Wanwan saw Master Zhongshan to the door and watched him leave before returning to the counter.

Qianqian has already picked up the pen and started to modify the sketch. "I think Mr. Zhongshan's suggestion is good.

We can draw both hexagonal and circular designs and let customers choose.”

Zhou Wanwan sighed and sat back in her chair, "But... I always feel that the hexagon is closer to the feeling of rime."

"It's good to be close, but beauty is also important." Qianqian stopped writing and looked at her seriously.

"Jewelry design is not just about copying nature, it also needs to consider the wearer's feelings. If it is uncomfortable to wear around the neck, no matter how close to nature the design is, it will be useless."

Zhou Wanwan was silent for a while, and finally nodded, "You are right, let's try it."

The two of them returned to work, Qianqian was responsible for revising the sketch, while Zhou Wanwan began to select round crystals.

She found a few green ghost crystals and examined them carefully under the light.

The interior of the green phantom crystal has natural cloud-like inclusions, which just match the hazy feeling of rime.

"What do you think of this?" Zhou Wanwan handed the crystal to Qianqian.

Qianqian took the crystal, looked at it against the light, and her eyes lit up, "This is good! The cloud effect inside has a rime feel, and the color is also very soft."

Zhou Wanwan smiled and said, "Then use this."

The two worked all afternoon and finally finished the sketches of the two designs. Zhou Wanwan picked up her phone and sent a message to the customer, Mr. Jiang Chao:

"Mr. Chao, we have two designs, one is hexagonal crystal and the other is round crystal. Please see which one suits your needs better."

Not long after, the other party replied: "Hexagon, it's closer to the feeling of rime."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the phone screen, feeling a little disappointed, but still replied: "Okay, we will continue to refine it according to the hexagonal design."

Qianqian saw her emotions and comforted her softly, “Don’t be discouraged, the customer’s choice is also important.

We can keep the circular design, maybe other customers will like it in the future.”

Zhou Wanwan nodded and forced a smile, "Well, you're right."

Over the next few days, the two continued to refine the hexagonal design. However, just as they were about to start making samples, Mr. Chao Jiangchao suddenly called.

"Zhou, a friend of mine saw your design sketch and thought the circular design was more aesthetically pleasing.

I was advised to choose a round shape. "Mr. Chao Jiangchao's voice sounded a little hesitant, "What do you think?"

Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then said: “The round design is indeed softer and more comfortable to wear.

If that's ok with you, we can continue with the circular design."

Mr. Chao Jiangchao was silent for a while, and finally said: "Okay, let's follow the circular design."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan let out a long sigh, turned to Qianqian and said, "The customer has changed his mind and wants a round design."

Qianqian smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Zhongshan's advice is correct."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but she felt a little complicated. She picked up the green ghost crystal and looked at it against the light. The mist inside looked particularly hazy under the light.
