However, Helen smiled unpleasantly. “You said that if you were the designer, you’d change the style of design. From the tone of your voice, you seemed to be… Quite knowledgeable about designing, aren’t you?
“If it were you, what are you prepared to exhibit with? Why don’t you draw something for me and show me what’s good?” Helen added.
Helen was very dissatisfied with Xyla Quest’s judgment.
From her perspective, an amateur didn’t deserve to point out the flaws of her work as a professional jewelry designer.
Helen knew Xyla, and she knew Xyla was the wife of Dragon Group’s president.
Helen even knew that Xyla was the only daughter in the Quest family. Xyla’s capabilities exceeded her peers.
However, Helen also knew that Xyla didn’t have any accomplishments in the field of jewelry design. Xyla also didn’t have any sources to prove that she was skilled in jewelry design.
Hence, when being judged by an outsider like Xyla, Helen truly felt unhappy.
Although Helen was running out of ideas, an outsider was in no place to criticize her. Hence, she wanted to challenge Xyla.
Xyla laughed. She knew what Helen thought because she’d heard about Helen’s temperament before.
This person only accepted compliments, but not criticism. Everyone who criticized her would be perceived as an enemy.
Even if someone’s criticism was correct, it was still unacceptable.
To be honest, Helen hadn’t been able to have any breakthroughs after all these years primarily because she wasn’t humble enough to accept constructive criticism from other people.
Now, Helen was practically repeating her mistake. That was why she wanted to challenge Xyla like this.
‘Since you can’t show me anything good, don’t judge me here. An amateur like you doesn’t have the right to criticize a professional like me.’ This was Helen’s hint to Xyla.
Xyla instantly felt repelled by Helen’s mentality.
In Xyla’s eyes, a good designer shouldn’t behave like this.
A designer should be humble and know how to accept others’ opinions instead of being reluctant to receive accurate feedback.
