“I don’t think there’s any need to waste time either. We should let Mr. French sign the contract quickly.”
“That’s right. If we delay and something happens, will Ms. Evans be able to deal with the consequences?”
“Yes, this company doesn’t belong to you!”
Faced with everyone’s criticism, Caroline smiled. “I still hope that Mr. French can take a look at it. After all, this is the fruit of my efforts.”
Corvin hummed for a second. “Alright, I would also like to know what skills you have, Ms. Evans.”
Caroline nodded slightly and walked out of the conference room. She headed to her office to get her design.
When she saw that Caroline had moved far away, Vivian couldn’t help but say to Corvin, “Mr. French, you’re much too kind. She’s just a new designer without any experience. If it wasn’t for the mistake during the competition, she wouldn’t have become Thorne Corporation’s design director.”
Corvin waved a hand. “It’s alright. It won’t take much time to just look at it.”
After hearing his response, Vivian had no choice but to let the matter go.
Nevertheless, she wasn’t scared.
After all, the winner was already set in stone.
Right then, Caroline came back with her design.
She inserted her pendrive into the computer and displayed her design to Corvin on the big screen.
Caroline’s design was very simple. On a huge, blank white canvas, there were only a pair of eyes. The eyes were drawn in a way that made them look full of life. One could see the designer’s skill in the drawing.
But the design was just too simple, drawing ridicule from everyone gathered.
“That’s all?” The first to laugh was the PR director, “So design is such a simple thing. I think after tomorrow, my son, who’s in elementary school can become the design director too.”
“I was wondering what kind of stunning creation Ms. Evans had produced. It seems it’s just this. After all, she has no experience. She only
won out of luck last time.”
“This is a hobbyist’s level. It seems we still have to rely on Vivian.”

“Ms. Evans, although the outcome of this competition was decided from the start, you shouldn’t have given up on yourself. I can’t believe you handed such a thing in. You might as well not have done anything at all.”
Caroline didn’t care about them. She looked over at Corvin. “Mr. French.”
Corvin loved the eyes Caroline had drawn. The eyes seemed to jump from the page and had some magic.
It was soulful and forced people to take more looks at it. Even so, Corvin was a fair person. He had to say, “I still think Vivian’s twelve- flower design moves me more.”
Caroline wasn’t dejected at all. She smiled faintly. “The twelve–flower design is beautiful, but it has no marketing value to speak of.” Once she said this, the room burst into a commotion,

Vilan’s expression changed slightly “Cantine, you’ve lost. Are you going to badmouth my work just because of that? Your characteris
just as bad as your designs. Now know why you only managed to marry a diver
Convis raised an eyebrow when he heard this.
He’d thought that there was something between Caroline and Kirk. But it turned out that Caroline was already married.
He was just about to speak when Caroline spoke softly
Mr. French, I admit that you are a renowned and respected name in the skincare industry. When we talked about artistry a few days ago. 1 thought you disagreed that artistry also needed to serve business purposes. That’s why your products are so good, but not all consumers agree ”
Caroline was going overboard by saying such things to such a renowned expert in the field.
Everyone turned pate from fright. They were scared that Corvin would change his mind and refuse to sign the contract with Thorne Corporation.
Even Jules thought Caroline was being too bold.
However, the next second, the conference room was filled with Corvin’s booming laughter.
“How interesting. I’ve been thinking about this all these years as well. Why do my products not sell as well now as they did more than ten years ago? At the beginning, I thought I was too old to catch up with the times.
“But then I wondered what skill had to do with the changing times. As long as my products achieve their skincare effects, lots of people would still buy them. I’ve achieved this, so why do the sales drop every year?
“I wondered if there wasn’t enough promotion or the wrong marketing strategy. But now you’ve given me a new line of thought, Ms. Evans. You’ve really given me something new to think about.
“About ten years ago, when one of my moisturizing masks became popular, I became a big shot in the skincare world. But before the mask got popular, I was a poor nobody selling my masks everywhere I could…”
As Corvin talked of the past, he became moved. “I remember being very unhappy with the packaging of the mask when it came out. I went to the company to put up a fight about it, but nobody gave me the time of day.
“Then, I became popular and had more leverage to speak. When it came to my products‘ packaging, I insisted on choosing them myself, You’re right. In my eyes, artistry is more important than business.”
“But the consumers don’t care about this.” Caroline said lowly. “If they want to immerse themselves in art, they can very well go to an art museum. The point of our products is to sell them to consumers. This is a business practice.
“Especially with new products, our packaging design must be simple and to the point. We must make consumers remember thern at a glance. That’s why I designed my packaging to use the purest white.”
She added, “Of course, Ms. Patterson’s design isn’t completely devoid of commercial value. Once the product gains a name for itself on the market, we can definitely use this packaging to push a new concept and excite the market.”
After Caroline said all this, no one in the room spoke.
In their eyes, Caroline was someone with no experience at all.
But now, they couldn’t help but feel respect for her.
This wasn’t something a newbie could say!
“Um…” Jules was the first to collect himself. He broke the silence. “Mr. French…”
Vivian also came back to herself after the shock. She looked nervously at Corvin.
“Mr. French, don’t be fooled by her silver tongue. As an experienced designer, my designs have both artistic and commercial value. But Caroline’s design only has commercial value. Although consumers will remember it at a glance, no one will buy such an ugly design.*

When Caroline returned to the design department, she could feel that the atmosphere was different from before.
The way the others looked at her had changed.
Their expressions were no longer filled with mockery and disdain.
They were full of fear.
Caroline knew what they were thinking. She regarded each of them.
“The design department allows constructive competition and also questioning. But it doesn’t allow slander. As long as you do your jobs. no one will make life difficult for you.”
Her words brought relief to those who had stood behind Vivian before.
After saying this, Caroline went to her office.
Cheryl followed Caroline into the office. Open admiration filled her face.
“Ms. Evans, you’re amazing. I admire you so much! How did you draw those eyes? Can you teach me?”
Caroline smiled and took out her phone. It was filled with notifications, People from other departments were adding her on social media.
She accepted every one of them
The second she put down her phone, someone tagged her
*Caroline Evans, we haven’t thrown Ms. Evans a welcome party, right? Why don’t we throw one tonight?
The following messages were all supportive of the idea
Seeing the positivity radiating from these people, Caroline suddenly thought of something. As long as one was capable, Those around that

Susan was by her side and nearly got hit. She saw Vivian pick up an expensive pencil holder on the table and rushed toward to stop her.
“Viv, calm down. I think your design is comparable to Caroline’s. You didn’t lose when it came to design, it’s
Susan whispered into Vivian’s ear
Vivian’s expression changed into one of disbelief. “Really?”
*Really. Someone saw Caroline go and see Corvin with their own eyes.”
Suddenly realizing something, Vivian put the pencil holder down. “No wonder Corvin said he liked my design so much yesterday out changed his mind today, it seems Caroline and Corvin actually-
Sher Susan hurriedly put a finger to Vivian’s lips. “Viv, the walls have ears.”
Vivian said disdainfully, if she dares to do it, she shouldn’t be scared of people talking about it.”
“Viv, what’s your plan for now?”
Vivian took a deep breath,
“I don’t believe she’ll be that lucky every time and encounter men as clients
As she spoke, Vivian smiled. Her heaving chest relaxed.
“Go out first. Take a breather for now. Cartins is in the limelight now, so there’s no need to go head on addict her
