Reborn Troops

Chapter 238 Life-saving Artifact

Zhou Wanwan sat in her small jewelry shop in the old town, fiddling with an exquisite silver necklace.

This necklace is different from other jewelry in her store. It hides a dark secret, an emergency alarm button.

Zhou Wanwan looked through the glass window of the store at the bustling streets outside, thinking about the feasibility of this design.

"Wanwan, are you thinking about that necklace again?" My best friend Qianqian pushed the door open and walked in, her voice as clear as the wind chimes hanging outside the store.

Zhou Wanwan raised her head and showed a bitter smile on her face, "Yes, Qianqian. The design of this thing is really complicated."

Qianqian walked to the counter, picked up the necklace and examined it carefully. "I heard that you were planning to add an emergency rescue function to the necklace. This is a novel idea. But, can it really be realized?"

"I'm still exploring," Zhou Wanwan sighed. "There are many technical difficulties, but I always feel that if it can be done, it may be a lifesaver for many people."

Qianqian nodded and encouraged: "Wanwan, you always have such ideas. I believe you can do it."

Zhou Wanwan smiled, but her heart was still heavy.

She knew that the design of this necklace was not only a technical issue, but also a moral and legal test.

She needed to ensure that the alarm system would work reliably in an emergency but also could not be abused.

Zhou Wanwan’s jewelry store is located on a busy street in the old city. It is bustling with people on weekdays and business is pretty good.

However, since Zhang Xia opened a jewelry store nearby, Zhou Wanwan's business began to be affected.

Zhang Xia not only competed on price, but also frequently belittled Zhou Wanwan's designs in front of customers.

That day, Zhou Wanwan was busy in the store when Zhang Xia suddenly walked in with a malicious smile on her face.

"Oh, Wanwan, the things in your store are still so 'unique'." Zhang Xia deliberately emphasized the word "unique".

Zhou Wanwan looked up and saw that it was Zhang Xia. Although she was unhappy, she still responded politely: "Sister Zhang, welcome. Is there anything I can help you with?"

Zhang Xia fiddled with the jewelry on the counter, and said with a mocking tone: "These jewelry are quite novel in style, but I heard that your design is a bit 'unlucky'."

Zhou Wanwan frowned, knowing that Zhang Xia was deliberately making trouble again. She calmly replied: "Sister Zhang, my designs are carefully considered, and each one has its story and meaning."

Zhang Xia was not willing to give in: "Really? What about this bracelet? I heard that some people had bad luck after wearing it. Is there something wrong with its design?"

Zhou Wanwan took a deep breath and decided not to give in any more: "Sister Zhang, every design has its audience. If you feel it is not suitable, you can choose other styles. But I promise that every one of my works is made with my heart."

Seeing that Zhou Wanwan was determined, Zhang Xia decided not to continue to argue with her and left the shop with a cold snort.

Qianqian watched all this from the side and came over to comfort Zhou Wanwan: "Wanwan, ignore her. Your design is so good, there will always be someone who appreciates it."

Zhou Wanwan looked at the necklace that Qianqian handed over, and a hint of gratitude flashed in her eyes.

She took the necklace, gently stroked the delicate chain and pendant, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Qianqian, thank you." Zhou Wanwan's voice was a little choked up, "I know you have always supported me, but this time..."

Qianqian interrupted her and said with a smile: "Wanwan, you don't have to thank me. Your designs are really great, I believe they will be loved by more people."

"Besides, this necklace means a lot to me. My parents are getting old, and having it around gives me peace of mind."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, with a determined light in her eyes: "Qianqian, don't worry, I will continue to work hard and create more excellent works."

“Can you let me see this necklace?” the woman’s voice was filled with anticipation.

Zhou Wanwan immediately handed over the necklace and introduced it with a smile: "The design of this necklace is inspired by the tree of life, which symbolizes health and peace. Moreover, it has a special function that can call an ambulance in an emergency."

The middle-aged woman looked at the necklace carefully, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "This is really great! My daughter has not been in good health recently, and I have been worried that she would be in danger if she was alone at home. I want this necklace."

Zhou Wanwan was delighted and quickly packed the necklace for the middle-aged woman and explained in detail how to use it. The middle-aged woman paid with satisfaction and left the store with the necklace.

Qianqian looked at this scene and said to Zhou Wanwan with a smile: "Wanwan, you see, there are still many people who appreciate your design."

Zhou Wanwan nodded, her heart full of confidence.

"Zhou Wanwan, I heard that you've sold a lot of jewelry recently." Zhang Xia's tone was a little provocative, "But I heard that some people's luck got worse after wearing your jewelry."

Zhou Wanwan frowned and was about to refute, but was stopped by Qianqian.

Qianqian stepped forward and said to Zhang Xia with a smile: “Sister Zhang, Wanwan’s designs are indeed very popular. Moreover, I believe that every piece of work has its meaning and value. If you have any questions, we can explain it in detail.”

Zhang Xia snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Explanation? I think it's a cover-up."

Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store fell into a tense atmosphere again.

Zhang Xia's provocation made the atmosphere in the store extremely depressing, but Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian's firm attitudes seemed to give each other some comfort.

Qianqian's cell phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID and her face turned pale instantly.

"Wanwan, this is my dad calling. He...he's in trouble!" Qianqian's voice was trembling.

Zhou Wanwan immediately stepped forward and held Qianqian's hand tightly: "Qianqian, don't panic, we will be there soon."

Qianqian nodded, and the two quickly left the store, leaving Zhang Xia standing there alone with a complicated expression on her face...
