Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 1496 [Eleven Jewell]

Chris paused and introduced the designer who had been speaking with Kayla. 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 Stella a discerning look and greeted her with a nod. “It’s nice to meet you, Ms. Hall.”

Stella glanced 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 Stella’s status. Instead, she just looked at Felicity with a cold gaze.

Stella grabbed the paper and said, “Goodness, this is rather… unique.”

Felicity leaned over to examine the sketch. She could not help but exclaim, “What in the world? It’s hideous. What is it, a rooster’s head?”

Kayla’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.”

Stella ignored him and glanced at Barbara. “Ms. Wilson is a client who has come 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 accept custom orders, the client’s preferences take precedence. This isn’t a design competition.

We’re not here to showcase our creativity.”

Stella’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 it comes to design? What purpose do designers like you serve in the company 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.”

Stella 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 a lapdog while showing no regard for their creations and making changes wherever pointed out.
