2002: Whose Supporters Are Distressed! (1 More)
Yes Yes Yes.
You look good... oh no, you're right when you win!
The reporters were eager to hear the details, but Xia Xiaolan didn't say anything. Every reporter wanted to interview her, even an exclusive interview with her. TV reporters sent an invitation to her on the spot, hoping that she would be on the show.
Xia Xiaolan refused.
Why should she cooperate with these reporters?
It was these people who called her a ghost, and now they want to be enthusiastic about her for news stunts. Xia Xiaolan doesn't care about these people, because she won. whitewash.
It's that simple.
How can the media have any sympathy, they report the news, they also make news, and they live on this!
But those who support her...
Xia Xiaolan squeezed out of the circle of reporters and bowed to the supporters who had been waiting at the court gate for a day:
"thank you all!"
"I have lived up to your trust, I won the lawsuit!"
"I will continue to work hard."
Cornell's classmates, Chinese students in New York, Chinese in Chinatown.
Is this a victory for Xia Xiaolan alone?
No, it's a win for all!
Xia Xiaolan won the lawsuit and lived up to their trust and support. She was as good as everyone imagined. Even the New York court, which naturally favors Americans, ruled her victory!
"Won."
Cornell's students rushed up, surrounded Xia Xiaolan, and wanted to start their classic celebration mode, lifting people up and down into the air, but Xia Xiaolan was powerless to stop it.
Anyway, in the end, it was not only the students from Cornell who were throwing her away, but also the Chinese students in New York who joined them, as well as the Chinese who came from Chinatown.
Xia Xiaolan's supporters fell into a carnival.
Contrary to them, of course, are Lisa's supporters.
Lisa actually lost? !
Everyone supported her so much, but she lost, and without explaining a few words to the supporters, she left in a hurry.
Supporters want to suspect judicial injustice.
But they know better than anyone that this is the United States, and it is a New York court. It is difficult to say whether the outcome of a lawsuit between an American and an American is fair. Sometimes winning or losing has nothing to do with the truth. It depends on whose lawyer is more powerful.
But when U.S. citizens and foreigners file lawsuits, subconsciously, judges will protect the interests of U.S. citizens first.
Unless there is really no other way, the evidence is conclusive, and the foreigners can only be judged in favor of the law and the love - with the blueprints in their hands, Lisa's supporters are extremely embarrassed.
Lisa's hurried departure and Lisa's loss made them feel that they were being deceived.
It doesn't seem to matter whose work the selected design is.
It may be Xia Xiaolan's.
Probably Lisa's.
Lisa's supporters, who do not know who took the lead in throwing away the sign in their hands, left quickly.
Others followed suit. They lost the brand, tore their T-shirts with supporting words on them, and left in disgust. Some of them were probably too angry and cursed.
It's not that they scolded Xia Xiaolan, their trust and emotions were hurt, and Lisa's loss and lack of explanation made them feel stupid!
How could Xia Xiaolan care whether these people leave or stay?
Winning a lawsuit is always a joy.
The court ruled in favor of her and asked Lisa to compensate her for economic losses of $50,000, and damages to her reputation and moral damages of $200,000... This is normal, and it is impossible for the plaintiff to say as much as possible, and the court also has its own verification standards.
Eric thinks that Lisa's appropriation of the work caused Xia Xiaolan to lose the aia supernova architect award, and the loss here is at least 50,000 US dollars, and Xia Xiaolan's time and money was delayed due to the lawsuit. Only then can the economic loss of 100,000 US dollars be calculated. compensate loss. However, the court cut it in half. After all, there was no damage to Lisa, and Xia Xiaolan was only shortlisted for the aia supernova architect selection.
Being shortlisted is not a guaranteed prize.
No matter how talented and arrogant it is, the award is not just sitting there, waiting for Xia Xiaolan to pick it up.
$200,000 in damages to reputation and morals is no less.
In addition, Lisa has to bear the litigation costs of the case.
The court's decision will be published in the newspapers, which is what Xia Xiaolan insists on.
Lisa is not satisfied, will she appeal as lawyer Miles said? Xia Xiaolan doesn't care, doesn't care, come and fight once, Lisa just changed from being despised once to twice or three times!
Liu Fen watched her daughter being thrown high, so many people cheered and celebrated, her eyes were still reddish.
"so good……"
It's nice to win a lawsuit.
The people who testified for Xia Xiaolan did not leave, except Harold.
Tina deeply despised Matthew: "You are so stupid, you actually admitted in court that you like her, what are you thinking about?"
Tina wanted to say, why can't I learn Harold?
This may be the difference between a mature man and a young idiot like Matthew. Even Tina can see that Harold likes Xia Xiaolan, but people can deny it without changing his face - thinking of Harold, Tina also thinks of the relationship with the Wilson couple. Agreed, she was also upset for a while.
Matthew blushed, "This is a mistake!"
Didn't you swear to tell the truth?
Who knew that he would suddenly be asked such a question
.
shit! What was in his mind at the time, fortunately he didn't lose the lawsuit, or he really made a big mistake!
But Mond Dawson, why did he choose to tell the truth at the last minute?
Matthew didn't even think about it.
Today's trial has been wrestling all the time. Matthew only knew that Xia Xiaolan's side turned around in the afternoon and finally won the lawsuit. But how to win, why is this arrangement, Ma Xiushen is in the game, but he does not fully understand the inside story.
This is the result of discussion between Xia Xiaolan and Eric.
Is this the difference between the IQ and the big guy?
Matthew fell into deep self-doubt.
...
The car pulled away from the block where the New York courthouse was located.
There was silence in the car, and Heidi didn't dare to say anything, for she was afraid that what she said was wrong and would provoke her father's anger.
After the trial, Mond said nothing, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Or he took the initiative to speak, but he didn't know whether he was explaining to Heidi or talking to himself:
"You know why I'm telling the truth?"
"I made an enemy for myself, because if she can't be killed by stepping on her once, she will resist in a fierce way."
"I underestimated the enemy, and I shot without investigating clearly."
If he really wants to deal with Xia Xiaolan, he should be more prepared. He thought it would be easy to cut off her future in the construction circle, but he didn't expect that there are so many supporters of the other side, and the background is not limited to the construction circle - Mrs. Wilson Inviting him to take action should be not only to deal with Xia Xiaolan, but also related to that Harold Wilson.
Mond is just an architect, and he doesn't want to get involved in these rich feuds.
He chose the chess piece by mistake, Lisa's foundation is weak and she is so vulnerable.
He also miscalculated his opponent, who was not only a talented Chinese student.
If he did not make a correct "judgment" in court, he said that he could not confirm which of the two manuscripts was drawn first and which was drawn later, and said that he could not confirm whose portfolio was better - with Xia Xiaolan's current performance, She was able to round up all the Pritzker Architecture Prize winners to date and re-evaluate them.
At that time, the situation will be even worse for Mond, and the architects with the same reputation as him, not everyone likes him!
