After all, Paul was born in a family of high-level intellectuals, so overall his quality is quite high. He did not treat Ye Chen in a different light when he heard that he was his son-in-law like others.
And Ye Chen doesn't feel any embarrassment. After all, he has been a home-based son-in-law for more than a day or two. It can be said that he has gained experience in eating soft food and is well-versed in it.
At this time, Paul said to Ye Chen again: "By the way, Mr. Ye, since you know Mr. Chen from Shangri-La, I wonder if it would be convenient for you to take some time to introduce me to him? After all, I just moved the company back to Jinling.
We also need to actively expand the relevant local resources and connections in Jinling. If Mr. Ye can help me with this, I will not treat you badly."
Marven didn't want Paul to know how close he was to Chen Zekai. After all, he had almost guessed his relationship with the Ye family just now. If he really got to know Chen Zekai through him, he might learn from it.
Savor more details.
So he said to Paul apologetically: "Mr. Paul, to be honest with you, Mr. Chen and I are not actually close. I just have a personal relationship with a friend of Mr. Chen, and I am ashamed to say that. That person is me."
I met him when I was doing Feng Shui for others."
"Feng Shui?" Paul asked in surprise: "Mr. Ye, are you a Feng Shui master?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said calmly: "I can't say that I am a Feng Shui master. I just read a few books and studied with the old gentleman for a while. To put it bluntly, I am somewhat fooling people."
Xiao Changkun on the side was afraid that Ye Chen would be embarrassed, so he smoothed things over and asked: "By the way, Paul, what kind of business does your company do? They all 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. It mainly provides high-end legal support to some of the world's top 500 companies."
Xiao Changkun asked in surprise: "Paul, are you also 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 for being a lawyer in the United States seem to be very high. Generally speaking, you need a doctorate, right?"
Paul smiled slightly and said: "Uncle Xiao, you are right. There are two professions in the United States that have the highest academic requirements. One is a doctor and the other is a lawyer. Generally speaking, a regular registered lawyer must at least have a law school degree.
Graduated with a 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 able to get a doctorate from such a university!"
Paul said seriously: "Uncle, to tell you the truth, even if you get a doctorate, you only have the entry qualification to be a regular lawyer. A truly good lawyer needs to go through a long period of growth, and some even need 10 or 20 years."
It requires more than 3 years of working experience and practical experience in hundreds of successful cases, so for me, I am just an entry-level primary school student."
Speaking of this, Paul looked at his mother Han Meiqing and said: "Actually, I have just graduated. If I were to run our own law firm independently, my own experience is far from enough, so now I just
On the surface, I assume the position of general manager, but it is my mother who really helps me with suggestions and even guides me in running the company. Without her help, this company would probably be destroyed in my hands."
Xiao Changkun looked at Han Meiqing in surprise and blurted out: "Oh Meiqing, are you also proficient in law and law firm matters?"
Paul smiled at the side and said: "Uncle Xiao, don't underestimate my mother. In fact, my mother is also a doctoral student at Yale Law School. She and my father met and got married in the Master's School of Yale Law School. Later,
My father founded the family law firm, and my mother has been assisting him. Without my mother, who is a good wife, my father's career would not have been successful."
Immediately, Paul sighed with self-deprecation: "It's just that my abilities haven't grown up yet, so I have to bother my mother to distract me."
Han Meiqing said with a smile: "Son, you have actually done very well. Mom especially hopes that you can grow up as soon as possible and then take over the whole company. In this case, Mom will not have to work so hard."
As she said that, Han Meiqing couldn't help but sigh: "Mom is back in China now, back in Jinling. My biggest thought 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 out of the corner of her eye and sighed in her heart: After working hard in the United States for so many years, she was actually very tired of her career.
In addition, he has never really felt the taste of love, so now he really wants to return 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 with Xiao Changkun, his first love.
Renewing the relationship can also make up for the regrets I have had for many years.
He also knows that lawyers are actually 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 Company for inducing death through smoking, and the U.S. court actually awarded an astronomical compensation of hundreds of millions of dollars.
An Asian man was beaten by an American Airlines security guard on a plane before. That incident had a very bad impact on the airline. In the end, the lawyer obtained tens of millions of dollars in compensation for the Asian man.
.
For lawyers, they have to get at least 30% to 50% of the compensation amount, and sometimes even higher.
Therefore, this is why American lawyers are very professional, and when they litigate, they are willing to risk their lives, and even use all possible means.
Because the interests behind this are so great, it is possible to win a big lawsuit, and the direct compensation share will be millions or tens of millions of dollars. It 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.
Especially some of the more famous super-rich people in the United States. People like this can usually become billionaires, and even become many celebrities, rich people, and important guests in the United States.
Therefore, Xiao Changkun couldn't help but feel even more inferior, because he could guess that Han Meiqing's family must have a very rich family background, even enough to allow them and their son to become the upper class in Jinling.
