    Paul had been raised in a strict environment that emphasized intellectual growth, which shaped him into a broad-minded and impartial gentleman. As a result, he remained calm andposed when Charlie spoke about his ‘job’, in contrast to others who often reacted with judgment.


    Charlie, on the other hand, had no reason to feel embarrassed or ashamed. Having been a live-in son-inw for three years, it was no surprise to anyone that he was seen as a moocher.


    At that moment, Paul said, “By the way, Charlie, since you know Mr. Cameron from Shangri-La, could you let me know when it would be convenient for you to introduce us? I’m looking to expand my local resources andwork in Aurous Hill, as I’ll be relocating mypany here. I would really appreciate your help with this.”


    Charlie was hesitant to reveal just how close he was to Isaac Cameron. He sensed that Paul might connect the dots regarding his ties to the Wade family, and he wanted to avoid any further scrutiny. So, with a touch of regret, he replied, “Honestly, Paul, Mr. Cameron and I are merely acquaintances. I happen to know one of his friends personally, and I met this person while working on a feng shui job.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Feng shui?” Paul eximed, taken aback. “Charlie, are you a feng shui master?”


    Charlie offered a faint smile and replied, “Oh no, please don’t call me that. I’m not a master. I’ve read a few books and learned from an older master in the past. To be frank, it’s more of an art of deception.”


    To ease Charlie’s difort, Jacob shifted the conversation, asking, “So, Paul, what kind of business are you in? I assume it must be a significant corporation, considering you moved yourpany from the States to Aurous Hill, right?”


    “Uncle Wilson, ourpany is actually a multinationalw firm, primarily providing high-end legal support to Fortune 500panies,” Paul exined.


    “So, Paul, you’re awyer too, then?”


    “Yes, Uncle Wilson. My father and I are bothwyers. To put it simply, I’ve inherited his profession.”<fn87f2> Discover more novels at Find1Novel</fn87f2>


    “I’ve heard that bing awyer in the States requires very high qualifications, is that correct? Generally speaking, isn’t a Ph.D. the minimum requirement?”


    Paul smiled slightly. “Yes, Uncle Wilson, you’re right. In the United States, the two professions with the highest academic requirements are doctors andwyers. Typically, a formally registeredwyer must possess at least a master’s degree from an reditedw school.”


    Jacob nodded and asked, “What degree do you hold?”


    With humility, Paul replied, “I’m a Ph.D. graduate from Yale Law School.”


    Jacob gasped in awe. “Wow, Yale! That’s a world-ss Ivy League institution! It’s truly impressive to be epted into a doctoral program at such a prestigious university!”


    “Uncle, to be honest, obtaining a doctoral degree only indicates that you have the academic credentials to practicew; the certificate merely opens the door. To be an exceptionalwyer, one must endure many years of growth and practical experience—typically 10 to 20 years and involvement in hundreds of sessful cases. So, in reality, I’m just a beginner,” Paul rified.


    He then turned to his mother and added, “In fact, I’ve just graduated. My experience isn’t sufficient for me to run ourw firm independently, so I only hold the title of general manager in name. The true hero behind the scenes is my mother, who supports and guides me in managing thepany. Without her, the business would likely have faltered under my direction.”
