Chapter 54 What is your dream
There is no doubt that like Shen Lan, Liu Minjian also came to the interview.
The position he interviewed was Jin Jingcheng's personal lawyer.
Shen Lan was found by Li Shunhuan for Jin Jingcheng, and Liu Minjian was found by someone else for Jin Jingcheng, and this person was Jose.
Kim Jong-sung had asked Jose to help him find a good personal lawyer in South Korea.
New York University Law School was founded in 1835 and is the oldest law school in the United States. It provides professional legal training and enjoys a high reputation worldwide.
Kim Jingcheng knew that many law students in South Korea went to New York University Law School to study further. Therefore, he judged that Jose would probably know a few, because Jose not only obtained a doctorate degree from New York University Law School, but also completed his bachelor's degree and master's degree in the college. He studied for many years. If he didn't even know a Korean student, it would be a bit abnormal.
Fortunately, Jose did know a few, including Liu Minjian.
Liu Minjian met Jose during his master's degree in law school in New York University. The two are friends.
However, Jose did not recommend Liu Minjian to Jin Jingcheng because he was friends with Liu Minjian. He conducted some investigations among several candidates and finally determined that Liu Minjian was the best candidate and the most suitable candidate for Jin Jingcheng's situation.
So at the moment, Liu Minjian stood in front of Jin Jingcheng.
...
"Please tell me honestly, what is your dream?"
Jin Jingcheng stared at Liu Minjian with a keen look and asked this sentence in a very serious tone, because he had already mastered all of Liu Minjian's resume information and knew that Liu Minjian had a dream of becoming an American lawyer.
What Jin Jingcheng asked was Liu Minjian's current dream. If Liu Minjian still held that American dream, then Jin Jingcheng would out of him without hesitation. Such Liu Minjian would not meet his current needs. Although he has a career and industry in the United States, Jose is already in charge in the United States. Jin Jingcheng doesn't think that Liu Minjian will be better than Jose.
In fact, Kim Jingcheng already knew that Liu Minjian’s current dream was to be the top lawyer in Korea. This was written in his resume information, but Kim Jingcheng wanted him to say it in person and in front of him.
What is your dream? This is a very meaningful question. Unfortunately, when Jin Jingcheng asked, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. He suddenly remembered a program in China in his previous life.
Of course, Jin Jingsung would not show it because he is the interviewer now, and even more because he is interviewing a lawyer.
When Liu Minjian heard this question, he understood the potential meaning of Jin Jingcheng and knew that Jin Jingcheng wanted him to say it in person. Once he did this, it would be equivalent to making a promise.
After a slight pause, Liu Minjian said solemnly: "Do work hard in South Korea and strive to become a lawyer."
He then added: "Please rest assured that my American dream has been broken. It is illusory. It is unrealistic for people like me. I have been working hard in the United States for two years, and the most I gained in two years was loss and disappointment."
Regarding this, it is not difficult to understand Jin Jingcheng, who has been at New York University for several years and is a friend of Jose.
Jin Jingcheng knew that the market in the United States is now relatively saturated, not to mention that there are so many prestigious universities in the United States, there are many doctoral students in law, and Liu Minjian is just a master's student, and he is a foreigner. It is not easy to work hard there to become a barrister unless there is a great opportunity given by heaven.
Liu Minjian didn't wait for a good opportunity in the United States. He just returned to South Korea shortly after he got the opportunity given by Kim Jingcheng.
Jin Jingcheng stared at Liu Minjian with sharp eyes: "You must think I will ask you why you are willing to be my personal lawyer. I think you must have prepared answers to this question in your heart, but sorry, I won't ask that."
Liu Minjian sighed in his heart that Jin Jingcheng was very powerful. He had seen many big worlds and had won many lawsuits in court. He felt a little palpitation when he looked at Jin Jingcheng.
"It seems that this boss is really not easy to say what he said." Liu Minjian muttered in his heart.
Kim Jingcheng immediately said: "Because I know the reason, the Korean market is already a little saturated. Many famous lawyers, status and income, etc. are on the decline. But you have been to the United States for seven years. Now it is not easy to come back to reorganize the mountains and rivers."
Liu Minjian, who listened carefully, subconsciously stood even more straight.
Kim Jong-sung said: "So you chose me, and the biggest reason that drives this choice is Facebook."
With Jin Jingcheng's consent, Jose told Liu Minjian that Jin Jingcheng was the boss and chairman behind Facebook.
This is also an inevitable move. If you don’t do this, Liu Minjian would not be willing to accept this employment. Moreover, the position of a private lawyer is extraordinary. Some things that Jin Jingcheng needs him to do in the future may involve Facebook.
Not long after Liu Minjian returned from the United States, he naturally knew how awesome Facebook is in the United States now. The terrifying degree of its upward trend is simply overwhelming.
Liu Minjian nodded calmly and couldn't help but sigh, "Boss, if that guy Jose hadn't told this, if it were someone else, I wouldn't believe that the person behind Facebook would be you. Until I came to the interview just now, I had a little doubt about this, but now I believe it."
Jin Jingcheng asked: "Why?"
Liu Minjian said: "Because my intuition tells you that you have this ability."
Jin Jingcheng nodded lightly: "Actually, you know that your interview today is just a formality, because I am just like you, and I believe that there must be his reason. However, today's formality still has a purpose. In addition to letting you tell me your dream in person, I also have to reiterate two requirements in person."
Before today, Jin Jingcheng had conveyed some of his requests to Liu Minjian through Jose.
So Liu Minjian knew that two points that Jin Jingcheng had to reiterate in person were two points that he had to abide by.
"Boss, please tell me." Liu Minjian responded respectfully.
Kim Jong-sung said: "First point, you are the only person in Korea who knows that I am not only MrJin but also the person behind Facebook. I ask you to make sure that this point must not be disclosed to anyone without my permission, including the closest people around me, and naturally, the closest people you are."
Regarding this, not only Jose has conveyed this to Liu Minjian, but also signed a confidentiality agreement with Liu Minjian.
Now Jin Jingcheng reiterated in person again, which made Liu Minjian deeply realize the importance of this matter. He was originally a little confused about it, but now after seeing Jin Jingcheng, he seemed to have some clarity and felt that Jin Jingcheng must have some "plans", and this "plans" must be quite large!
What exactly is the "plan"? Liu Minjian didn't think too much, nor did he dare to think too much, let alone think too much.
"I solemnly assure you that you will never disclose this without your permission from the boss."
Liu Minjian said seriously, waiting for Jin Jingcheng's second request to reiterate.
