Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Hysteria is actually a mental illness.

Mental illness has always been the most difficult disease for mankind.

Even Chen Zhao is often helpless when faced with mental illness.

Especially children, whose thinking is very active, and because they do not have a complete world view, they often make unrealistic fantasies.

However, this kind of fantasy is often not recognized by adults, and children will fall into autism or even develop depression.

Mental illness requires more communication and companionship.

"Gaia, you have been spending more time with Evans recently. If you are not free, just let the child stay at the headquarters. Of course, you can also go to the kindergarten with children of the same age. Anyway, you need someone to accompany you. Try to keep Evans from being alone. In addition, , if Evans says he saw something, whether you saw it or not, don’t deny it.”

"Chen, is Evans' condition serious?"

"Actually, children are most active in thinking between the ages of five and ten. Their brains begin to accept a large amount of knowledge, so it is a child's nature to love fantasy. After this age, children's psychology begins to mature. When the world view becomes complete, they will gradually forget those unrealistic fantasies, and whether it is fantasy or hysteria, they will only occur when the child is lonely. As long as there is someone to accompany him, he will not have random thoughts, and he will not be able to It's absolutely certain that Evans is hysterical, and it could be something we don't know about yet."

Gaia looked at Evans from a distance, and Evans was playing with Rupert at the moment.

There is no problem at all with Evans now.

It's not that Evans will definitely develop autism or even depression.

In fact, hysteria in children is a relatively common mental illness.

The best treatment plan for children's hysteria is companionship. You cannot deny or correct it with a tough attitude.

Children believe that what they see is the truth, even if what they see is just a figment of their imagination.

"Do you want to see a psychiatrist?"

"You can see a psychiatrist, but you can't go to a hospital with obvious signs. Children's hospitals are very exclusive. Once they find out that they are sent to the hospital, they will be very sensitive to the fact that they are sick. By the way, I know A psychiatrist who has also been exposed to some supernatural events. I can make an appointment with her and have her come to the headquarters to provide psychological counseling to Evans."

"I think you can do psychological counseling." Gaia still trusted Chen Zhao more.

"I know this theoretical knowledge. I have been exposed to this kind of subject in school, but I am not a professional. Professional matters must be left to professionals."

"Okay, make an appointment with the psychiatrist." Gaia had absolute trust in Chen Zhao: "I plan to move to the headquarters."

After all, Gaia has her own job, and she is willing to give up her job for Evans.

But of course she would be happier if she could have the best of both worlds.

There is definitely no shortage of people at the headquarters, and most of the people at the headquarters are quite optimistic.

Even Hailis, who has the gloomiest personality, is still a girl with a soft heart.

And people here are not biased.

In addition, the environment here is good, so Gaia is willing to let Evans live here.

Even if Evans is exposed to some guns and weapons, it doesn't matter if it can keep Evans physically and mentally healthy.

In the afternoon, Chen Zhao received a call from Denver, asking him to return to Dashan Town and discuss something.

Denver not only made an appointment with Chen Zhao, but also made an appointment with Dean Slott.

"Dean, congratulations, you have once again been recognized by the residents of the town." When Chen Zhao saw Dean Slott, he took the initiative to congratulate him.

To be honest, Chen Zhao was not surprised at all when Dean Slott became the mayor again.

The original new mayor, as can be seen from his management level of Dashan Town, did not have any management and political abilities. It was impossible to defeat the old fox Dean Slott at this level.

Even when Dean Slott caused trouble in the town, the new mayor didn't react.

By the time he found out, Dean Slott had already ousted him.

"Haha... Chen, you are joking. I want to thank you. Without your strong support, I will not be able to hold the position of the new mayor for a long time."

Dean Slott promised to rebuild the brewery within three months.

If he does not rebuild the brewery within three months, then he, the second-time mayor, will probably become the mayor with the shortest tenure in the history of Dashan Town.

“So here I am, coming to talk about the rebuilding of the brewery.”

"We shouldn't have any objections to the reconstruction of the brewery, right?" Dean Slott said.

"Indeed, there is no big objection." Chen Zhao nodded and glanced at Denver: "It's just that some details still need to be discussed."

"Chen, are there any details that you don't understand?"

“The first thing is brand ownership,” Denver said.

"Chen, do you want to monopolize the old brand?"

"It's not a monopoly, it's a purchase. I hope we won't have trademark disputes in the future. You know that most trademark disputes are caused by multi-party ownership, so I hope the issue of trademark ownership can be made clearer."

"So how much do you want to spend on it?" Dean Slott asked.

"Five million dollars." Denver took over Chen Zhao's words.

"This is impossible. The original Dashan beer had an annual turnover of more than 10 million and an annual profit of more than 2 million US dollars. Now you want to buy this trademark for 500,000 US dollars. This is impossible. "Dean Slott's reaction was huge.

Even Chen Zhao felt that Denver's price was too low, but that's what business negotiations are like, just like bargaining in a wet market.

Anyway, one party is asking for a high price, and the other party is counter-offering.

"Chen, Mr. Denver, there is actually nothing wrong with co-ownership of trademarks. You can own and use the trademarks without spending a penny, and I can guarantee that I will never interfere with the production and operation of the brewery."

Denver doesn't believe this, and neither does Chen Zhao.

If the trademark is held by others, it means that the lifeblood is held by others.

If the value of this trademark does not increase, and the revenue is only several million dollars a year, maybe the Dashan Town Government will not take Qiao.

But what if the value of this trademark increases tenfold? What if it’s a hundred times?

At that time, the Dashan Town Government will demand a large sum of money for the use of the trademark.

Once the negotiations between the two parties fail to reach an agreement, even if Dashan Town only holds 50% of the trademark ownership, it can still stop the brewery, because the use of the trademark requires 100% of the right to use it for sale and operation.

Therefore, the ownership of trademarks must not be in the hands of Dashan Town Government.
