Reborn Troops

"Wanwan, the texture of this piece of white jade is not delicate enough to produce the effect of mangosteen."

Qianqian frowned, holding a piece of white jade in her hand, and examined it carefully under the light.

Zhou Wanwan came over, took the white jade and looked at it. Indeed, the lines were not clear enough and the luster was a little dim. She sighed and felt a little irritated.

"Look for more, there will always be a suitable one," she comforted.

However, in the next few days, they searched all the suppliers but still could not find a piece of white jade that met their requirements.

Zhou Wanwan's mood became increasingly depressed, and she even began to doubt whether her decision was correct.

"Or... shall we use silver?" Qianqian asked tentatively.

Zhou Wanwan shook her head, her eyes firm: "No, since we have decided to use white jade, we can't give up easily. Let's think of another way."

Just then, Master Sun Yat-sen called again.

"Wanwan, how's the progress?" Master Zhongshan's voice was still gentle.

"Teacher, we have encountered some difficulties." Zhou Wanwan said somewhat frustratedly, "We can't find the right white jade. The texture and luster are not ideal."

Master Zhongshan was silent for a while, then said: "Wanwan, have you ever thought about trying to use Hetian jade?

Hetian jade has a finer texture and a softer luster, which may be more suitable for your design."

"Hetian jade?" Zhou Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up. She had heard of the reputation of Hetian jade, but she had always thought that the cost was too high and had never considered it.

"But the price of Hetian jade..." She hesitated.

"Wanwan, design requires bold attempts." Master Zhongshan said firmly, "If you can make fine products, the market will reward you."

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath, and hope rekindled in her heart. She nodded and said firmly: "Teacher, I understand. I will try Hetian jade."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan immediately contacted several suppliers of Hetian jade.

After some screening, I finally found a piece of Hetian jade with fine texture and soft luster.

"This piece of jade is so perfect!" Qianqian said excitedly while holding the Hetian jade. "It has clear lines and a warm luster. It is tailor-made for a mangosteen ring!"

Zhou Wanwan also showed a long-lost smile. She picked up the pen and started designing again. This time, her strokes were smoother and inspiration flowed like a spring.

A few days later, the first Hetian jade mangosteen ring was finally born.

Zhou Wanwan carefully picked up the ring and put it on her hand. The warm luster of Hetian jade and the fresh texture of mangosteen blend perfectly, like a natural work of art.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Hetian jade mangosteen ring in her hand, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

She gently turned the ring, and the luster of the Hetian jade flowed under the light, as if the flesh of the mangosteen was crystal clear in the sun.

She couldn't help but smile, and turned to Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, look, the effect of this piece of Hetian jade is better than we imagined before."

Qianqian came over and looked at the ring carefully, her eyes full of admiration: “Wanwan, this ring is so beautiful!

The texture of Hetian jade is indeed different, with delicate lines and soft luster, which fully conforms to the design concept of Mangosteen. "

Zhou Wanwan nodded, but she was a little worried in her heart: "But the cost of Hetian jade is too high. The price of silver jewelry we previously budgeted is too different from this. Can customers accept it?"

Qianqian frowned, thought for a moment and said, "How about we take a few photos of the ring and put them on social media to test the waters? See how people react."

Zhou Wanwan thought this was a good idea, so she nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's give it a try."

The two immediately got busy, taking several high-definition photos of the rings and adding concise captions.

It was posted on Zhou Wanwan's personal design account. Before long, the comment section became lively.

"This ring is so beautiful! The texture of the Hetian jade is really amazing!"

"The design of the mangosteen is so unique. The luster and texture of the Hetian jade completely restore the freshness of the mangosteen!"

"How much? I want to buy it!"

Seeing these comments, Zhou Wanwan felt a little more relaxed. She was about to reply to some messages when her cell phone suddenly rang. It was her younger brother Zhou Guo calling.

"Sister, are you in the studio? I have something I want to show you." Zhou Guo's voice sounded a little excited.

"I'm here, come over." Zhou Wanwan hung up the phone and said to Qianqian, "Zhou Guo said he would come over. I wonder what new ideas he has."

Not long after, Zhou Guo pushed the door open and walked in, holding an exquisite wooden box in his hand.

He walked up to Zhou Wanwan and said mysteriously, "Sister, this is the mangosteen jewelry box I designed especially for you. What do you think of it?"

Zhou Wanwan took the wooden box and examined it carefully. The surface of the wooden box was carved with a mangosteen pattern with delicate patterns.

The lines are smooth, and the edge of the box is inlaid with a circle of silver, which makes it look both simple and modern.

She opened the box and found a layer of soft silk inside, just enough to hold a ring.

"Zhou Guo, this box is amazing!" Zhou Wanwan said in surprise, "When did you learn how to do carpentry?"

Zhou Guo scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Actually, I'm learning 3D modeling and sculpture recently.

The box was carved using a CNC machine and I just designed the pattern.”

Qianqian also came over to take a look and exclaimed, "Zhou Guo, you are really getting better and better! This box and Wanwan's ring are a perfect match!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "Zhou Guo, can you help me make a few more boxes like this?

I want to sell the ring and the box together as a set, so that the whole set will be more upscale.”

Zhou Guo readily agreed: "No problem! But sister, you have to give me some time, after all, it takes a lot of time to carve a box."

"Okay, take your time, we're not in a hurry." Zhou Wanwan said with a smile.

In the next few days, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian started to get busy. They not only continued to perfect the design of the ring,

He also began to plan how to combine rings and jewelry boxes into a complete series. Zhou Guo spent every day in the studio, concentrating on carving jewelry boxes.
