1990: Never Run Away! (4 More)

"It can't be said to be confidence, it's that I believe in the fairness and justice of the law!"

Kissinger's hand twitched.

What to do, he really looks like a middle finger!

With so many media around, the founder of gmp must have wanted to kill him when such provocative photos were taken.

"Mr. Kissinger, what do you think of 'sexual bribes', have you ever accepted sexual bribes? Have you ever used this method in a firm's bid—"

"Lisa, will you take your partner Mr. Kissinger to court after you win this case?"

"Mr. Kissinger, what do you think about today's trial..."

fuckyou!

Who said Lisa was going to win today.

Kissinger was surrounded by reporters, but he couldn't help looking around. The court was about to start. Why didn't Xia Xiaolan come? It was really worrying. If Xia Xiaolan was about to escape, Kissinger swore that he must—hmph, he would not let Xia Xiaolan go anyway.

A reporter noticed Kissinger's absent-mindedness.

"Are you looking for the accuser?"

"The trial time is coming, why hasn't the plaintiff appeared yet!"

"Maybe I'm timid..."

Reporters whispered.

The words were heard by Lisa's supporters, and the crowd cheered loudly.

Kissinger became more and more uneasy. Could it be that Xia Xiaolan really didn't come?

A black car stopped quietly in the distance.

In the car sat Mond Dawson with his daughter Heidi.

Mond didn't show up in front of everyone, and if today's trial didn't go well with Lisa, he would also testify in court. This was not in Mond's plan at all. It was originally a very small matter. He was a Pritzker Prize winner.

But this Chinese student was indeed a bit beyond his expectations.

The other party is not willing to suffer this loss, and there are many supporters, the situation is more serious than he thought.

Especially the lunatic Kissinger, who is very supportive of Xia Xiaolan, and is talking nonsense in front of reporters.

The reporter ran to Ithaca for an interview. He spent a lot of time trying to divert the reporter's attention.

Heidi looked at the noisy court door, then at her father, Mond, and seemed to hesitate.

"What do you want to say?"

Mond spoke up.

Before Heidi could answer, he said to himself, "If you are good enough, I don't need to do such a complicated thing. You know that aia has a supernova architect competition this year. I originally planned to let you design a work this year. Come out and participate in the selection next year, but now it's a little troublesome. This year's lawsuit is so big, there will definitely be many eyes watching next year. "

The parents are Ivy League graduates, and the children continue to attend Ivy League schools.

The parents are bankers and the children are on Wall Street.

The parents are barristers, and the children go to law school.

Isn't the resource accumulated by predecessors meant to be used by future generations? If you don't use your natural advantages, you are a fool to compete with others with your bare hands.

The winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, his daughter does not continue to engage in architecture, Mond struggled for so many years of accumulation, and it was all wasted - what is the use of resources? Mond's fame, his connections in this circle, and just a little bit of it to Heidi, is enough for her to be ahead of her peers for more than 10 years!

With a few more rookie awards, she is a famous rookie architect.

This is the road that Mond arranged for his daughter Heidi.

Why he wanted to suppress Xia Xiaolan was not just a small grudge. Xia Xiaolan and Heidi used to be classmates. They were of the same age and gender. In the architectural circle, whether it is big or small is not small. Mond knows better than anyone how difficult it is for a female architect to succeed.

If Heidi's talent is comparable to Xia Xiaolan, Mond will let Heidi fight... But Mond also knows what Heidi's talent is.

With Xia Xiaolan, and even that girl named Ning Xue, it was even more difficult for Heidi to stand out.

A night sky can have many stars, but only one moon.

Heidi is only at the level of the stars, or the kind of stars that don't shine enough, forcibly package her as the moon, unless the real moon is gone.

These words, Mond could not have said to Heidi,

But Heidi can guess how much!

She... She doesn't know what to say, she's not good enough, she's already disappointed her father, what can she do to stop her father from doing anything?

Heidi stared blankly at the door of the courthouse.

Suddenly, some small black spots appeared in her field of vision.

"Then, what is that..."

what is that?

No shouting.

No slogans and uniforms like Lisa's supporters.

A group of people came from the street corner, not in a hurry, no one joked or laughed. Silence is a silent force that cannot be underestimated.

"It's them--"

Heidi had already recognized some of them.

"I'm a student at Cornell University!"

She is somewhat familiar with many people in the School of Architecture.

There are also many unfamiliar faces, men and women, old and young, all of them with yellow skin.

There are Chinese students.

And the Chinese in Chinatown.

Why can't Chinese students sue with American female architects?

Before the court has made a judgment, can these supporters and people from newspapers and TV stations be able to pronounce the judgment on behalf of the judge?

Zhou Yi walked in the crowd and kept whispering to her restaurant owner who was working as a black worker:

"They just bully the Chinese people, thinking that all Chinese people are stupid and that we are not united abroad."

"Xia Xiaolan is definitely the smartest person I've ever met. She said that the Broadway theater was designed by her, she must have designed it!"

"She's not short of money. If it wasn't for her design, she would come to the United States to fight a lawsuit after she was full of food?"

Zhou Yi's support for Xia Xiaolan is also very strange.

Xia Xiaolan has money and no time and doesn't care about a little compensation for winning a lawsuit - it's a waste of time to fight a lawsuit - someone stole his work, but he will spend time fighting a lawsuit - so Xia Xiaolan must be justified, it's a perfect logic.

In the crowd, Qi Wei was secretly rolling his eyes.

With Zhou Yi's logic, do you still want to go to law school?

Lawyers and judges talk about evidence, will Zhou Yi talk about feelings with judges in the future?

In the crowd, there was Song Minglan.

Xia Xiaolan didn't want her help. After thinking about it, Song Minglan came as an international student.

This time, basically all Chinese students in New York State came, whether they knew Xia Xiaolan or not. Even Han Jin, who hated Xia Xiaolan, followed Chen Qing. Everyone understands in their hearts that in such a case, the international students abroad are not united. This time it is Xia Xiaolan who suffers, and the next time it may be their turn... This time, they will not stand up and cheer for Xia Xiaolan. Next time it will be their turn. When they are unlucky, no one else will stand up.

The group, walking slowly to the door of the courthouse, fought against Lisa's supporters.

The atmosphere was so serious and solemn that a reporter couldn't help but ask:

"Why are you here?"

Jonathan took a step forward, "We are students of Cornell School of Architecture, we believe in our classmates, believe in her character and talent, and we are here for the justice of the law!"

"We are Chinese students. We want to ask, why can't Chinese students design good works?"

"We are from Chinatown. We hope that the court will give a fair judgment. Don't be preconceived every time and discriminate against the ability of Chinese people!"

Once a silent person speaks up, he can't hold back at all.

The reporters are shaking, it's definitely big news today.

So many people support Xia Xiaolan.

But what about Xia Xiaolan?

The supporters on Lisa's side were laughing, "Those you believe in, you don't believe in yourself. The court is about to start, what about her?"

"Scared!"

"I know I'm going to lose the lawsuit, but I dare not show up!"

"It's a pity, there are still a group of fools defending her..."

There was a commotion at the door of the courthouse.

Suddenly there was the noise of the propeller overhead, and everyone couldn't help looking up to the sky. A large box hanging from the helicopter was suddenly opened, and a lot of paper and photos fell out, flying all over the sky.

"what is this?"

Someone grabbed something, but it was a drawing.

Is it an architectural drawing?

It's all architectural drawings and design drafts!

"Hello? Hey, can you hear me? I'm sorry, I'm a little late, because of all the New York media's concern for me these days, I feel very happy, so I want to prepare a little gift for everyone, oh, I forgot to introduce myself, I am the plaintiff in this case, Xia Xiaolan from China, nice to meet everyone!"

Sounds seemed to be coming from all directions.

Because there are many people gathered at the entrance of the court, there are naturally police to maintain law and order.

But the police didn't know where Xia Xiaolan was.

Lisa grabbed a piece of paper that fell from the sky, and it was actually her work printed on it... Is it her graduation project many years ago? !
