1948: Jealousy and Greed Are Original Sins (2 More)

Back then, Lisa was just jealous.

She was jealous of Xia Xiaolan's "talent" and her connections.

If it wasn't for relationships, how could two clients come to the door together, vying for Xia Xiaolan to accept the entrustment?

Of course, Lisa was also unhappy.

In the late stage of the theater renovation project, Mrs. Wilson seemed to have a falling out with Xia Xiaolan, but Xia Xiaolan had already left gmp. Mrs. Wilson had made trouble with the office several times, and also embarrassed Lisa on the spot. Lisa thought she had suffered a lot of grievances.

She has her own contribution.

She suffered grievances.

Can't enjoy the glory?

This is the unspoken rule of the architect industry, who is the chief designer, who enjoys the glory.

People will say that the award-winning work of so-and-so is the work of the so-and-so architect, the work of the so-and-so firm, the architect accepts the award, and at most thank the team... Just like those Hollywood stars, standing on the podium, Saying thank you to the brokerage company and thanking the broker is a routine.

Lisa was jealous.

Yet she was powerless.

&np partner Kissinger sent the theater project to apply for the "aia Supernova Architect" award, and that jealousy reached its peak.

The theater refurbishment project did a great job.

After the opening, the audience also affirmed this.

Even the picky Mrs. Wilson kept her mouth shut, seeing how popular the theater's reopening was.

If Xia Xiaolan wins the aia supernova award, she will undoubtedly become a hit in the international architectural circle... She has not even completed her undergraduate studies, so she is not a real architect!

Women are neglected in this industry.

Lisa thinks that her professional experience can explain this problem very well. She can't get ahead in gmp, and she can't get more opportunities, isn't it because she is a female architect?

Also a female architect, she suffered a lot of repression.

Why is Xia Xiaolan a smooth road?

It's so unfair...

Lisa did not expect that Mond Dawson, the vice chairman of the jury of aia this time, still remembered the chance encounter with her at the theater, and questioned the declaration of gmp.

Mr. Mond believes that she is the chief designer of the theatre and that the theatre is her work.

When the aia jury asked her to confirm the matter, looking at the encouragement in Mond's eyes, Lisa didn't know why she admitted it in front of the jury!

Kissinger was naturally furious.

Lisa wasn't so scared anymore.

Because after she submitted a part of the design draft to the aia headquarters, Mond said he admired her courage and supported her rights protection actions.

"If you lose your job because of this, you are welcome to my studio."

This gave Lisa a lot of confidence.

&npThe New York office is poor.

&np resigned and moved to Mond's studio.

This kind of behavior can also be considered to confirm her identity as a victim. Her works were almost taken over. She exposed the truth and couldn't stand in gmp. What a pitiful person.

What did this "poor" woman lose?

not at all.

She got a better-paying job.

Her name was first known to her colleagues in New York.

The &np firm kept its face and did not inform the whole industry about this matter. There is no such thing as an airtight wall in the world, and Lisa still received attention because of it.

It is a pity that she is already over 28 years old and does not meet the rigid conditions for the selection of aia supernova architects, otherwise she will still be able to compete for this award with this work.

Lisa got the benefit, and she couldn't back down anymore... Lisa panicked when she received the court subpoena.

Xia Xiaolan has already left the United States, and she did not expect to be brought to court so soon.

"Mr. Mond, what should I do?"

Lisa burst into Mond's office, bewildered, and placed the court summons on the table.

Then she saw what Mond was holding, and the aia headquarters faxed Xia Xiaolan's complaint letter to Mond.

"Sir, I, I..."

Mond dropped the fax and looked at the court summons again, but he was very calm:

"What do you want to say? Did you not design the theater renovation plan, did you deceive me?"

"No... sir, it's my work."

Lisa bit her tongue.

She didn't even know why Mond said those things to the aia jury.

Lisa once told the truth to Mond's compliments when Mond took her daughter to the theatre - it wasn't her work, it was from another architect in the firm.

She thought Mond had forgotten.

In front of aia's jury, Lisa took Xia Xiaolan's design as her own.

Mond didn't expose it, she thought Mond really forgot—

No, no, a Pritzker Architecture Prize winner, a well-known architect, who can remember detailed parameters, how could he forget such a thing?

Mond knew from start to finish whose work the theater was.

It's just that he and Lisa never broke the issue, and the two sides cooperated very well.

Mond's calmness slowly infected Lisa.

Yes, they don't need to say anything about it, no matter why, Mond wants this result.

Lisa increases the voice

:

"Sir, it's my work!"

Mond finally smiled, "Yes, the aia jury has determined that it is your work. Some people want to overturn aia's determination, how can aia agree? This is just a very common copyright lawsuit, you should be right Have confidence in yourself."

Lisa took a deep breath and lowered her voice:

"There was a very important witness who was another intern who was involved in the project at the time, Matthew Carleton, also from Cornell's School of Architecture, and I knew he wanted very much to stay at gmp."

Mond raised his head, "But he didn't stay, right? In the same batch of interns, one will always stand out, and the others will become foils. The same interns, others can host a project, but he can only fight, Do you think he will be jealous? Any classmate friendship is fake, in front of interests, someone will always make a wise choice, you are like this, so will Matthew."

"You want him to come to the studio—"

Lisa whispered.

This is one way.

What is the difference between being able to go to Mond Dawson's studio, the starting point of this career, and going to gmp?

&np Office has many mature architects, Matthew is a newcomer, I don't know how long it will take to get ahead.

Mond's personal studio is different.

If Mond is willing to give Matthew more opportunities, the process of Matthew's emergence will be much shortened.

&np can report Xia Xiaolan for this year's aia supernova architect selection, if Mond is willing to help Matthew, Matthew can also become a finalist for "aa supernova architect" next year——

Mond dropped the subpoena in his hand:

&np, he can go elsewhere too. Young people should think more about their own future. Others can afford a lawyer, and a gmp partner can stand for her. What does he have? "
