Chapter 1948: : Jealousy and greed are the original sins (2 more)


    At that time, Lisa was just jealous.


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


    If it weren''t for the rtionship, how could two customerse to the door together and vie for Xia Xian to ept themission?


    Of course, Lisa was also ufortable.


    At theter stage of the theater renovation project, Mrs. Wilson seemed to have fallen out with Xia Xian, but Xia Xian had already left GMP. Mrs. Wilson went to the office several times and embarrassed Lisa at the scene. Lisa felt that she had suffered a lot of grievances.


    She has her own contribution.


    She was wronged.


    Can''t you 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 such and such winning works are the works of such and such architects, and the works of such and such firms. The architect epts the award, and at most thanks to the team... Just like those Hollywood stars standing on the podium, Saying thank the brokeragepany, thanking the broker is a routine.


    Lisa was jealous.


    However, she could do nothing.


    Watching GMP partner Kissinger send the theater project to apply for the "AIA Supernova Architect" award, the feeling of jealousy reached its peak.


    The theater renovation project is really well done.


    After the opening, the audience also affirmed this.


    Even the picky Mrs. Wilson, seeing how popr the theater was after its reopening, shut up.


    If Xia Xian wins the AIA Supernova Award, it will undoubtedly be a hit in the international architecture circle... She hasn''t evenpleted her undergraduate studies, so she is not a real architect!


    Women are neglected in this industry.


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


    As a female architect, she suffered a lot of pressure.


    Why is Xia Xian a smooth road?


    This is so unfair...


    Lisa did not expect that Mond Dawson, the vice chairman of the AIA jury, actually remembered the encounter with her in the theater and questioned the GMP deration.


    Mr. Mond believes that she is the chief designer of the theater, and the theater 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 what the psychology was, and admitted the matter in front of the jury!


    Kissinger was naturally furious.


    Lisa was not so afraid.


    Because after she submitted part of the design draft to the AIA headquarters, Mond said that she admired her courage and supported her rights defense actions.


    "If you lose your job for this, you are wee toe to my studio."


    This gave Lisa a lot of confidence.


    Monds studio is no worse than GMPs New York office.


    Of course she chose to resign from GMP and transfer to Mond''s studio.


    This kind of behavior can be regarded as the realization of her identity as a victim. Her work was almost invaded. She exposed the facts and was unable to gain a foothold in GMP. It was a pitiful person.


    What has this "poor" woman lost?


    Not really.


    She got a higher-paying job.


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


    Although AIA maintained a face for the GMP firm and did not report the matter to the entire industry, Lisa has received attention for this because there is no impermeable wall in the world.


    It''s a pity that she is over 28 years old and does not meet the rigid requirements of the AIA Supernova Architects selection, otherwise she would be able topete for this award with this work.


    Lisa got the benefits, and she couldn''t go back... Lisa panicked when she received a subpoena from the court.


    Xia Xian had already left the United States, and she did not expect to take her to court so soon.


    "Mr. Mond, what should I do?"


    Lisa rushed into Mond''s office, feeling at a loss, and ced the court''s summons on the table.


    Then she saw what Mond was holding, and the AIA headquarters sent Xia Xian''s appeal and protest letter to Mond by fax.


    "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? Didn''t you design the theater renovation n? Did you deceive me?"


    "No... sir, it is my work."


    Lisa bit her tongue.


    She didn''t even know why Mond had to say those words to the AIA jury.


    When Mond took her daughter to visit the theater, Lisa once told Mondspliment that it was not her work, it was another architect of the firm.


    She thought Mond had forgotten.


    In front of the AIA jury, Lisa took Xia Xian''s design as his own.


    Mond did not expose it, she thought Mond really forgot--


    No, that''s not the case. A winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, a well-known architect, who can remember detailed parameters, how could he forget such a thing?


    Mond knows whose work the theater is from beginning to end.


    It''s just that he and Lisa haven''t exined this issue, and they cooperated very tacitly.


    Mond''s calmness slowly infected Lisa.


    Yes, they don''t need to talk about it, no matter why, Mond wants such a result.


    Lisa increased her voice:


    "Sir, it is my work!"


    Mond finally smiled, "Yes, the AIA jury determined that it is your work. Some people want to overturn the AIA''s determination, how can AIA agree? This is just a verymon copyrightwsuit. You should be right. I have confidence."


    Lisa took a deep breath and lowered her voice:


    "There is a very important witness. He was another intern who was involved in the project at the time, Matthew Carlton, who was also from the School of Architecture at Cornell University. I knew he wanted to stay at GMP very much."


    Mond raised his head, "But he didnt stay, right? One of the same interns will always be outstanding, and the others will be foils. The same interns, others can lead a project, but he can only help. Do you think he will be jealous? Any kind of fellowship is false. In the face of interests, someone will always make smart choices. You are so, and Matthew will be so."


    "You want him toe to the studio"


    Lisa whispered.


    This is one way.


    Being able to go to Mond Dawsons studio, what is the difference between this career starting point and going to GMP?


    GMP firm has many mature architects, and Matthew is a neer. 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 showing up will be much shorter.


    Lets put it this way, GMP can apply to Xia Xian for this years AIA Supernova Architect Selection. If Mond is willing to help Matthew, Matthew can also be a finalist of the "AA Supernova Architect" next year


    Mond dropped the summons in his hand:


    "If he is not in GMP, he can also go elsewhere. Young people should think more about their own future. Others can afford awyer and can have a GMP partner to help her. What does he have?"
