Chapter 702 Gardenia

Zhou Wanwan's jewelry store is located in an inconspicuous alley.

The window was filled with ceramic jewellery designed by her. The sunlight shone through the glass onto the delicate ceramic bracelets, giving them a faint luster.

Zhou Wanwan stood behind the counter, holding a newly completed gardenia ceramic bracelet in her hand, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

"I always feel like this color is a little off," she said to herself.

At this time, the door of the shop was pushed open and Qianqian walked in. She was wearing a loose white cotton and linen shirt, holding a cloth bag in her hand, with a faint smile on her face.

"Wanwan, are you thinking about your gardenia bracelet again?" Qianqian walked to the counter, picked up the bracelet and looked at it carefully.

"Yeah, I always feel that the color combination is not good enough." Zhou Wanwan sighed, "You came at the right time, help me take a look."

She smiled lightly, took out a thick color card from her cloth bag, flipped through a few pages, pointed to a group of elegant colors and said:

: "Try this. The white of gardenia, paired with light green and light yellow, should give it a more layered feel."

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up. She took the color card, compared it carefully, and nodded, "It's really good. You have good taste."

Qianqian shrugged and smiled: "I'm a professional."

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Zhou Wanwan picked up the paintbrush and began to carefully paint on the ceramic bracelet.

Qianqian sat aside, casually flipping through other jewelry in the store and occasionally giving some suggestions.

"By the way, Wanwan, how is your business recently?" Qianqian asked casually.

Zhou Wanwan paused and sighed, "Not so good, this alley is too remote, there aren't many customers."

Qianqian frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "Why don't you try online sales? Many people buy jewelry online now."

Zhou Wanwan shook her head: "I tried it, but the effect was average. Maybe I don't know how to operate it."

Qianqian nodded and said nothing more. She knew Zhou Wanwan was a stubborn person and once she made a decision, it would be difficult to change it.

Just then, the shop door was pushed open again, and a young girl dressed in fashionable clothes walked in.

She looked around and her eyes fell on the gardenia bracelet in Zhou Wanwan's hand, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"This bracelet is so beautiful, can I see it?" The girl walked to the counter with a hint of anticipation in her tone.

Zhou Wanwan smiled and handed the bracelet to her. The girl looked at it carefully and exclaimed: "It's so exquisite. Did you design it yourself?"

Zhou Wanwan nodded: "Yes, this is my latest designed gardenia ceramic bracelet."

The girl's eyes flashed with hesitation, and she asked, "How much?"

Zhou Wanwan quoted a price and the girl frowned, seeming to think it was a bit expensive.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally put the bracelet back on the counter and said with a smile, "I'll think about it."

Zhou Wanwan's smile was a little stiff, but she still said politely: "Okay, you're welcome to come anytime."

After the girl left, Qianqian patted Zhou Wanwan on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't be discouraged, you will always meet someone who appreciates you."

Zhou Wanwan smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Zhou Wanwan's eyes lit up at Qianqian's suggestion. She put down the paintbrush in her hand and said thoughtfully, "Adding fragrance? That's a good idea!

But how can you make a ceramic bracelet smell good? You can’t just spray perfume on it, because the smell will dissipate quickly.”

Qianqian smiled, took out a notebook from the cloth bag, turned to one of the pages, pointed to the notes on it and said:

“When I was researching aromatherapy, I discovered a technology that can seal the fragrance in the material and make it last.

Although ceramics themselves do not easily absorb fragrance, we can try adding fragrance to the glaze or embedding a sachet in a certain part of the bracelet.”

Zhou Wanwan listened attentively, her eyes becoming brighter and brighter: "It sounds very feasible! However, I don't know much about this. Can you help me?"

Qianqian nodded and said with a smile: "Of course, I happen to know a friend who makes aromatherapy.

She is very experienced in this area. We can talk to her and see if there is any good solution. "

Zhou Wanwan clapped her hands excitedly: "Great! Then let's go find her now!"

Qian Qian looked at the time and smiled, "Now? What about your store?"

Zhou Wanwan then realized that she was a little impulsive and smiled embarrassedly:

"Yes, someone still needs to watch over the store. How about this, you contact your friend first to see when she is free, and then we can make an appointment."

Qianqian nodded, took out her phone and dialed a number. A gentle female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Qianqian, why did you think of calling me?"

Qian Qian smiled and responded: "Xiao Ya, I have a friend who wants to ask you about aromatherapy. I wonder when you are free?"

Xiaoya smiled and said on the other end of the phone: "I happen to be free this afternoon, you can come to my studio to chat."

Qianqian looked at Zhou Wanwan, who nodded quickly. Qianqian said into the phone, "Okay, see you this afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Wanwan's mood was obviously much better.

She picked up the gardenia bracelet and examined it carefully, as if she could already see it with its subtle fragrance.

In the afternoon, Zhou Wanwan and Qianqian came to Xiaoya's studio. The studio is located in an old building in the city center. When they opened the door,

A faint fragrance wafted over. Xiaoya was sitting at a wooden table, holding a bottle of essential oil in her hand, mixing something.

"Xiaoya, we are here." Qianqian greeted with a smile.
