1947: Typical Shameless? (1 More)
Matthew is a very important witness.
The entire theater renovation plan was completed by Xia Xiaolan with Lisa and Matthew.
Matthew is a scheming boy, and he tries every means to seize the opportunity to express himself. The friendship with Xia Xiaolan is not as strong as Daisy's...
"Yes, I believe he will testify for me."
Xia Xiaolan said decisively.
"...you are so confident."
Perjury is a crime in the United States, witnesses who perjury will be prosecuted, and witnesses who perjury will face jail!
But no matter how perfect the legal provisions are, there is no way to constrain the behavior of every witness. Perjury is risky. If the witness is bribed, the benefits of perjury outweigh the risks of being discovered, and the result is difficult to say.
Eric said that Xia Xiaolan was confident, but Xia Xiaolan couldn't tell the difference.
It is not Xia Xiaolan's character to admit counsel before the lawsuit is filed.
Before Matthew hadn't really done anything to betray her and hurt her, why couldn't she trust each other?
"Attorney Eric, Matthew not only interned at gmp with me, he was my senior at Cornell University—"
"Ok, I get it, you are my client and I am your lawyer. Leave all these matters to me!"
...
Eric moves very fast.
After confirming that he was going to take the case, he threw himself into it.
It was not the first time for Eric to fight a copyright lawsuit. He went to gmp to meet Kissinger as a lawyer for Xia Xiaolan. First, I asked everyone from the gmp New York office. Everyone said the same thing. The design plan for the renovation of the theater is indeed the work of Xia Xiaolan. The senior architect Hoffman also said:
"Xia is very talented. She showed her prominence in the design of the Wilson Hotel Washington project, so she can take charge of the renovation project of the Broadway theater as an intern. The Broadway theater project is not something Lisa can do. We have been working for many years, Lisa. The style has been fixed.”
Some dishes are the craftsmanship of a certain chef as soon as they are eaten.
Some works can be seen as the handwriting of a certain master.
No matter whether she is famous or not, an architect who has been in the industry for many years, she has already brought inherent traces when she handles the scheme.
On the contrary, newcomers like Xia Xiaolan have not yet formed a fixed aesthetic, and their works are free and full of uncertainties.
Eric has both paper and video records of his conversations with everyone.
He can frighten Mrs. Dawson's two lawyers without a fight, and naturally he has the real ability... The lawyer's ability is in his litigation winning rate, how many lawsuits he has won, and how many out-of-court settlements he has facilitated.
Next, Eric will go to Cornell for evidence.
Kissinger folded his arms, his tone full of disdain, of course not for Eric, but for Mond Dawson and Lisa:
"Go, let the two arrogant villains know that gmp's dignity is not to be provoked! They insulted my eyes, and I will never see the wrong person!"
"..."
So this person didn't throw Xia Xiaolan out to take the blame for the first time, because he felt that his eyes were insulted, and he couldn't swallow this breath?
"Sir, it will be as you wish."
Before Eric set off for Ithaca, he had already submitted the petition to the court, including the petition written by Xia Xiaolan to aia.
The aia headquarters is naturally confused.
It's normal for aia to cancel a shortlisted qualification, because of various reasons...the embezzlement of other people's works, do you still have the nerve to file a protest? At this time, the architect who was dismantled should hide in shame.
Appearances should be minimized in the hope that people will forget about it.
How can an intern have such courage.
I heard that he was an intern from China who went to the United States as an exchange student!
Did she question aia's judgment?
Lisa knows the project well, and this is not only the judgment of Mond Dawson. Before disqualifying Xia Xiaolan from the shortlist, the jury of "aia Supernova Architects" also had an in-depth question and answer with Lisa.
This is the collective judgment of the aia jury.
How can such a newcomer stay in the circle by appropriating other people's works?
&np Is Kissinger in the New York office crazy, he can still sign such a letter of appeal and protest? "
"What background does this intern have—"
"Does Kissinger have to make this a big deal? We just disqualified gmp from applying for works, and didn't inform the whole industry about it."
&np saved face.
&np is a first-class firm after all, many architects working for gmp are also registered members of aia, including Kissinger himself.
Therefore, in the view of the aia association, this is an internal scandal, and it is enough to deal with it in a low-key manner.
However, Kissinger's perseverance made aia headquarters unbelievable - in Chinese dialect, Kissinger and Xia Xiaolan are typical shameless people.
Either Kissinger is crazy.
Or they are collectively hallucinating.
"You should tell Mond about this letter of appeal and protest, as well as your dissatisfaction with Mond."
...
So, what is Mond doing at this time?
Lisa got a court summons!
Filed too quickly.
America is a habit
Litigation, a country that is used to looking for lawyers for everything, basically every American has encountered a lawsuit in their life, either as a plaintiff or as a defendant... The probability of becoming a defendant is not small, you never know when you will Became a defendant, failed to pay the credit card, forgot to pay the fine, and accidentally nailed the wooden fence across the border while tidying up the yard and violated the neighbor's garden.
These things, big or small, will make a US citizen a "defendant."
There are also many lawsuits related to copyright. The most common one is not the construction industry, but the American entertainment industry.
Disputes over music works, literary works, and film and television works continue to feed a group of lawyers who make a living.
But no matter how common this kind of thing is, Lisa will also panic when she becomes a defendant and receives a court summons.
Because she is guilty.
Lisa knows better than anyone who is responsible for the refurbishment of the theatre and who is leading the project.
After Mrs Wilson's theatre reopened, it was really popular with young people.
With a completely different style from other Broadway theaters, as Xia Xiaolan expected, this theater could become an internet celebrity check-in place in New York in the late 1980s.
The bankrupt Wilsons still have money to live in the Nanhai Hotel and maintain their decent life, so they should be thankful for this theater, which has been very popular after reopening... The couple saw that the situation was not right, so they transferred the theater to George's name, otherwise the same Can't escape bankruptcy.
Of course Lisa didn't know about this.
But Lisa went to experience the sound of the theater as an audience member after the theater reopened.
How perfect the sound is!
Xia Xiaolan, an intern, has no idea how to decorate a theater. It is the result of her hard work and the industry experience she has accumulated over the years.
She heard the audience raving about the audio-visual effects and decoration style of the installation.
Young girls think it's beautiful and cool here, it doesn't matter what's on stage, but sitting in this theater to watch the show and come here on a date makes them happy.
Listening to such praise, Lisa's heart is itching and tingling - she has been neglected in gmp for many years, and gmp has never given her the opportunity to create such a work!
