V1.Chapter 1983

The more you hear it, the more familiar it sounds.

It's like at Cornell University, she seized the point of "racial discrimination" and severely repaired Mrs. Dawson... Change soup without dressing. Lisa chose the entry point of "female occupational discrimination" this time.

Americans like to listen to stories.

The media needs such stories, celebrities need stories, and even scientists rely on stories. Only when an apple hit Newton did the theory of "universal gravitation" come into being. Only selling "stories" can easily attract attention in the United States, which is the same reason that the entertainment industry likes to "set up people" for stars.

Xia Xiaolan also knows what American urine is. Seriously, she also thought about whether to take advantage of it.

Of course, it's not to deal with Lisa, because Xia Xiaolan is full of confidence in winning the lawsuit. She wants to deal with Fu mengde.

If you, as a weak person, face the media's accusation of Monde's "professional bullying", what effect will you receive after winning the lawsuit? Xia Xiaolan just had this idea, but she didn't do it, because it's a shame to let her play a weak person!

Win by winning others' sympathy?

Xia always dislikes the little white flowers swaying in the wind.

We have to say that she is a flower, that is also a overlord flower. Meet her opponent face-to-face, and then swallow her opponent to relieve more anger!

But unexpectedly, Lisa did well in what she didn't do.

I wonder if Mrs. Dawson provided Lisa with inspiration. What Lisa said on the interview program made Xia Xiaolan feel disgusted - "female occupational discrimination" of course, not only existed in 1987, but also in 2017. The same resume will give priority to male job seekers with different pay for the same job. Xia Xiaolan herself hates these.

What Lisa said is also true. It's very difficult for a female architect to get ahead!

If she stands up and accuses GMP, exposes the hidden rules of the industry and cries for fairness for women in the same industry, Xia Xiaolan can regard each other as fighters. Although Lisa's protest is useless, the industry rules can not be overturned by one person. If women want to get opportunities at work, they should let those managers see how powerful women are.

But that's not why Lisa.

After so many years in GMP, Lisa didn't even fart. Why didn't she dare to jump out and say this before?

Because Lisa may have felt unfair in the past, but she counseled and was unable to resist this injustice.

Now, she hypnotizes herself. She really regards the theater renovation plan as her own work

After Xia Xiaolan watched the interview, Mrs. Wilson, who appeared on the program, did not firmly say that the "theater renovation plan" was Lisa's work. She just told the audience about the intersection between Lisa and the theater renovation. He also said how much trouble he had caused Lisa. He was really not a kind customer.

It's more effective than saying something directly.

When the host asked about Lisa becoming the defendant, Mrs. Wilson also cut off the topic:

"There is no lawsuit today. That's what the judge needs to decide. I believe in the justice of the law."

The host laughed.

Snap——

Xia Xiaolan turned off the TV.

"Eric, this interview is interesting. It's not only for me, but also for what you're good at!"

Isn't it.

Eric is a well-known equal rights lawyer. It is Eric's label to file a lawsuit for the poor and the weak.

Lisa played this skill, mostly taught by her lawyer. She preempted the lines that Eric might use to convince the jury in court.

Eric wants to talk about how vulnerable Xia Xiaolan, a Chinese student, is. The other party can broadcast the program to show the jury how vulnerable Lisa is... Although Eric thinks that the evidence in his hand doesn't need to play the sympathy card at all, he is disgusted by Lisa's behavior.

The "sympathy card" is the last thing lawyers rely on. Some people have broken the law, but there is a reason for it. Lawyers will use the "sympathy card" to defend them from crime and commutation.

For example, in 1984, there was a shooting case that shocked the whole country in the United States. A 10-year-old boy was sexually assaulted by his coach. When the coach was arrested by the police, he looked indifferent and arrogant. The boy's father was very angry. He waited at the airport in Louisiana and shot the coach who sexually assaulted his son in front of the police.

The police responded and knocked his father down. His father had no resistance and had only the relief of successful revenge on his face.

The father was originally identified as second-degree murder. The news soon spread, and the monitoring pictures of the airport were made public on television. Americans regarded the avenging father as a hero. There was a surge of public opinion, and they petitioned and put pressure on the court one after another. In addition, the doctor of psychology took the initiative to diagnose the father. Finally, under the pressure of all parties, the judge changed his father's crime from second-degree murder to manslaughter - five-year probation + 300 hours of community service. Although the heroic father shot and killed the rapist, he actually didn't sit in prison for a day!

This is the story of law and human nature finally standing together.

It is also an example of public opinion's intervention in legal decisions.

In the eyes of lawyers like Eric, the success of this case is a good "sympathy card". The TV station plays the picture of his father shooting the coach without resistance and arrest again and again, which is a kind of incitement.

He told Xia Xiaolan about the old case:

"So you see, this is the same means. The father committed a crime, but with so much support that he was not sentenced to murder, he really wasn't sentenced. Lisa is fooling the public. She doesn't mention the work itself, but only says how much unfair treatment she has received in GMP office. The audience rating of this interview program is good, and the audience is mainly female audience. They will sympathize with Lisa and substitute themselves into Lisa's experience... After all, gender discrimination in the workplace does not only happen to Lisa. "

Xia Xiaolan tutted twice:

"Lisa cleverly diverted the public's attention. She was clearly a defendant, but she seemed to be a victim. Because of the discrimination and pressure in the workplace, she dare not resist the decision of GMP firm. Even if the firm wants to take her works and challenge awards for a new person, she can only acquiesce - I think Mr. Kissinger is under great pressure now. "

Kissinger has been portrayed as a villain who discriminates against female employees and bullies female subordinates.

Why should Kissinger help Xia Xiaolan?

There must be people who can't see money, power or sex!

The image of a working woman who has endured all kinds of grievances and then fought back angrily is firmly portrayed in the hearts of the audience, will also affect the judgment of the jury and the judge, and can even reverse some evidence against Lisa——

As for Xia Xiaolan?

There is no doubt that she is a stakeholder.

The shameless villains are arrogant because they have lost their original benefits. In turn, they take the victims to court, which is such a bad image.

In this case, every word she said may be misinterpreted, and Eric refused her any interview.
