Ye Chen didn't want Paul to know how close his relationship with Chen Zekai was. After all, he almost guessed his relationship with the Ye family just now. Taste out more details.
So he said to Paul apologetically: "Mr. Paul, to tell you the truth, I don't know Mr. Chen very well. I just have a personal relationship with a friend of Mr. Chen, and I'm ashamed to say that. That person is me. I met when I was helping others with Feng Shui."
"Feng Shui?" Paul asked in surprise, "Mr. Ye, are you a Feng Shui master?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said indifferently: "I can't talk about being a Feng Shui master. It's nothing more than reading a few books and learning from the old man for a while. To put it bluntly, it's somewhat deceptive."
Xiao Changkun on the side was afraid of Ye Chen's embarrassment, so he smoothed things over and asked, "By the way, Paul, what kind of business does your company do? They moved to Jinling from the United States, so the business should be very big, right?"
Paul smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Xiao, our company is actually a multinational law firm, which mainly provides high-end legal support for some Fortune 500 companies."
Xiao Changkun asked in surprise, "Paul, are you a lawyer yourself?"
Paul nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Xiao, my dad and I are both lawyers. To be clear, I have inherited his mantle."
Xiao Changkun said with emotion: "The requirements to be a lawyer in the United States seem to be very high. Generally speaking, it seems that you need a doctorate?"
Paul smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Xiao, you are right. There are two professions in the United States that require the highest academic qualifications. One is a doctor and the other is a lawyer. Generally speaking, a formal registered lawyer must at least go to a law school. master's degree."
Xiao Changkun nodded slightly, and asked again: "Then what degree do you have?"
Paul said modestly: "My Ph.D. is from Yale Law School."
Xiao Changkun nodded in amazement and said: "Yale University, that is a world-class prestigious school! It is really amazing to be admitted to such a university for a doctorate!"
Paul said seriously: "Uncle, I will tell you that even if you get a doctoral degree, you only have the entry qualifications to be a regular lawyer. A really good lawyer needs a long period of growth, and some even need 10 years and 20 years. More than one year of working experience and practical experience in hundreds of successful cases are required, so for me, I am just an entry-level primary school student."
Speaking of this, Paul looked at his mother Han Meiqing, and said again: "Actually, I have just graduated. If I were asked to independently run our own law firm, my own experience is far from enough, so I just On the surface, I assumed the position of general manager, but it was my mother who really helped me with my ideas behind the scenes, and even guided me to run the company. Without her help, this company would probably be ruined by me.�
! !
Xiao Changkun looked at Han Meiqing in surprise, and blurted out, "Oh, Meiqing, are you also proficient in law and law firm affairs?"
Paul smiled from the side: "Uncle Xiao, don't underestimate my mother. In fact, my mother is also a doctoral student at Yale University Law School. She and my father met and got married at Yale University Law School's master's school. My father founded the family's law firm, and my mother has been assisting me all the time. Without my mother's good helper, my father's career would not be possible."
Immediately, Paul sighed with self-deprecation: "It's just that my current ability has not yet developed, so I have to trouble my mother to distract me."
Han Meiqing said with a smile on the side: "Son, in fact, you have done a very good job. Mom especially hopes that you can grow up as soon as possible, and then take over the company as a whole. In this way, mom won't have to work so hard."
As she said that, Han Meiqing couldn't help sighing again: "Mom has returned to China and Jinling now. The biggest thought in Mom's heart is not to start our family's business in Jinling, but to enjoy the retirement life of an old Chinese lady in Jinling."
Later, Han Meiqing looked at Xiao Changkun from the corner of her eye, and sighed in her heart: I have worked hard in the United States for so many years, but I am actually very tired of my career.
In addition, I have never really felt the taste of love, so now I really want to go back to China, let go of everything in the past, and concentrate on being an old lady, and if there is a chance, he hopes to be able to be with Xiao Changkun, his first love. Renewing the front line can also make up for the regrets I have had over the years.
He also knows that lawyers are a very popular profession in the United States, because the amount of compensation in many lawsuits in the United States is very high, often tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars.
According to media reports, a few years ago, someone sued the famous American tobacco brand Marlboro for inducing smoking to cause death, and the American court awarded hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation.
There was also an Asian man who was beaten by American Airlines security guards on the plane. That incident had a very bad impact on the airline. In the end, the lawyer won tens of millions of dollars in compensation for the Asian man. .
As for lawyers, they have to get at least 30% to 50% of the compensation amount, and sometimes even higher.
Therefore, this is why lawyers in the United States are very professional, and they are desperate to file lawsuits, and even do everything they can.
Because the interests behind this are really too great, it is possible to win a big lawsuit, and the direct compensation share will be tens of millions of dollars, which is much easier than ordinary people to make money.
Therefore, in the United States, the status of lawyers is also very high, and they are completely upper-class people. JrNovels.com
