Mr. Kane Got cklisted Chapter 1496 [Eleven Jewell]
Chris paused and introduced the designer who had been speaking with Ka. Ms. Hall, this is Barbara,
the head of our design team. She’s our most sought-after designer, and many clients admire her work.
Barbara, please greet Ms. Hall.”
Barbara gave Ste a discerning look and greeted her with a nod. “It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Hall.”
Ste nced at the design sketches on the table and politely asked,” Barbara, may I look at the draft
for this design?”
Barbara, who was somewhat disdainful of this young new boss, perceived her as someone who did not
quite grasp the world of jewelry. She questioned how Darcie could entrust the store to such an
inexperienced individual.
“Feel free to look, although I fear you may not fully understand it,” she replied indifferently.
Felicity stared her down and said, “There must be something wrong with your design if we can’t
understand it.”
Barbara was annoyed and wanted to fight back, but she held back due to Ste’s status. Instead, she
just looked at Felicity with a cold gaze.
Ste grabbed the paper and said, “Goodness, this is rather… unique.”
Felicity leaned over to examine the sketch. She could not help but exim, “What in the world? It’s
hideous. What is it, a rooster’s head?”
Ka’s brow furrowed slightly.
Hearing that, Barbara could not contain herself any longer. “Don’t embarrass yourself. It’s clear you
don’t understand art.”
‘Even though that may be true, I know what a chicken looks like when I see one,” Felicity scoffed.
“It’s a phoenix, you uneducated girl!”
Felicity was about to fire back, but Ste intervened. “Barbara, my friend tends to be forthright.
However, I must admit that it’s rather difficult for me to appreciate this design.”
Barbara was tempted to retort. She wanted to say, “And, what do you know?” But, considering Ste’s
status, she restrained herself. She then looked at Ka and had an idea.
“Ms. Hall, I designed this piece based on Ms. Wilson’s preference. I painstakingly revised this phoenix
as per her instructions. Are you doubting her taste?”
As expected, Ka’s face showed a slight displeasure. She looked coldly at Ste, as she was curious
about what Ste would say.
Chris, who was afraid of offending Ka, quickly whispered to Ste, “Ms. Hall, Ms. Wilson is a major
client of ourpany. It would be better if you revise your words.”
Ste ignored him and nced at Barbara. “Ms. Wilson is a client who hase for customized
jewelry. Shouldn’t she let the designer do the work? The essence of custom-made jewelry lies in the
design. If the client dictates all the changes, whose design is it in the end? Yours or the client’s?”

Barbara’s face grew increasingly grim. “Ms. Hall, you clearly don’t understand the intricacies of design.
When we ept custom orders, the client’s preferences take precedence. This isn’t a design
competition.
We’re not here to showcase our creativity.”
Ste’s expression darkened. “Clients may not have an in-depth understanding of design. They
typically have a rough concept of the jewelry they desire. That is why they seek out designers like you
for assistance. If you simply defer all the responsibilities to the client, do you also expect them to
handle your design fees in the future? Do you have no concept when ites to design? What
purpose do designers like you serve in thepany if the customer is the one who does most of the
work? Perhaps having clients to provide their own sketches directly would be more efficient.”
Ste had met many jewelry makers. Most of the outstanding designers were prideful of their work.
Even when taking on custom projects, they would ensure that their own style and design philosophy
were reflected in the draft. They would never follow the client around like apdog while showing no
regard for their creations and making changes wherever pointed out.
