Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Wang He and Zhuo Xiao entered the restaurant and sat down.

"Is that person also a Chinese?" Zhuo Xiao asked.

"Yeah." Wang He replied casually. He really didn't want to mention that person.

Zhuo Xiao didn't see what Wang He was thinking, so he still asked with interest.

"What does he do? Is it also in the film industry?"

"No, don't ask. In short, we can't afford to offend that person, especially in Los Angeles."

But he remembered that he was here last time and accidentally broke into Chen Zhao's box, only to encounter Chen Zhao's men holding a lot of arms.

Wang He was very successful in the entertainment industry, but in his mind, Chen Zhao was the arms boss.

That was something he never dared to offend. Even if Chen Zhao was living in the United States, he was living in China.

"How good is he with Director Steven? How did you meet him?"

"I don't know. Anyway, during the initial audition, director Steven asked him who was suitable, and then he said that I was suitable, and I was selected."

"By the way, didn't that person enter the restaurant? Why didn't he see anyone else?"

"He must be in the box." Wang He said.

"Since we know each other, why don't you go and say hello? It would be too rude if you don't."

"This..." Wang He hesitated.

Regardless of their friendship, Chen Zhao at least helped him.

Whether at home or abroad, this rule applies.

However, Wang He was really worried. This time, just like last time, he saw something he shouldn't have seen when he pushed the door open.

Forget it, he should be bringing his wife and children to dinner this time, so he won't see anything he shouldn't.

Wang He picked up the wine glass and stood up, followed by Zhuo Xiao.

There is only one private room in Marina Restaurant, and I visited it last time.

Just as Zhuo Xiao was about to push the door in, Wang He immediately stopped Zhuo Xiao's move.

"Knock on the door, don't be rude." Wang He said.

Knock knock——

"Come in." Chen Zhao's voice came from inside.

"Hello Mr. Chen, hello madam." Wang He said, "I'm here to say hello to Mr. Chen."

"Well, hello, who is this lady?"

"Zhuo Xiao, I am Wang He's girlfriend."

"Hello."

"This is my girlfriend Fali, and this is my daughter."

When Wang He and Zhuo Xiao saw little Ge Lin sitting on the table, they suddenly felt indescribably cute.

"Sit down and chat for a while."

"Will it disturb you two?"

"No need to interrupt, please take a seat." Fali didn't care and actively invited the two of them to sit down.

"How's the filming going lately?"

"My role has been roughly completed, but the crew is still in the final stages of filming." Wang He said, "I should also thank Mr. Chen for helping me get the opportunity."

"It has nothing to do with me. The main thing is that your acting skills are good and you are also very popular in China. After the movie is released in China, you will be needed to boost the box office."

"Mr. Chen, the filming of the crew is expected to end within two weeks. Mr. Steven has scheduled a wrapping party on May 2nd. Will you go then?"

"I won't go, I won't go, I won't go..." Little Gelin shouted immediately, with a look of horror on her face: "As soon as the godfather sees little Gelin, he will stab her with his beard."

Everyone in the box laughed, but Zhuo Xiao's heart moved slightly.

Is Director Steven the godfather of this girl?

I really envy her...

"Fali, do you want to go?" Chen Zhao asked.

"I don't really want to go, but if we don't go when he invites us, he will come to our house and disturb our world."

"I'll just prepare a gift for him then. If he comes to bother us again, I'll let the dog bite him."

"Dad, can you let the dog go? If the bite hurts the godfather, the godfather might not love little Gelin anymore." Little Gelin became entangled again.

"Don't you dislike your godfather?"

"Little Gelin likes it, but she doesn't like the godfather pricking me with his beard."

At this moment, a person suddenly came outside the door, Nafa Tang En.

Nafa Tang En stood at the door and knocked: "Hi, Chen, have I disturbed you?"

"Hello, Mr. Nafa."

Wang He and Zhuo Xiao both recognized the person in front of them, a first-tier movie star in Hollywood.

The two of them suddenly became cautious, after all, this was a real Daka.

At least Nafa Tang En's international reputation is definitely a hundred times stronger than the two of them.

"Want to come together?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Chen, can you come out and talk?"

Chen Zhao stood up and said to Wang He and Zhuo Xiao, "Excuse me."

Chen Zhao and Nafa Tang En came to the door.

"Mr. Nafa, what's the matter?"

"Call me Tang En. My friends all call me Tang En."

"Okay, Dunn."

"Chen, I want to ask if you have any cash on hand."

Chen Zhao was stunned for a moment and looked at Nafa Tang En in surprise.

To be honest, he was really unfamiliar with Nafa Tang En.

Even though they co-owned the restaurant, they actually met no more than five times.

Even before today, the two of them were still referring to each other by their honorifics.

But today Nafa Tang En asked him to borrow money.

To be honest, after the last treasure hunt, the money has not yet been transferred to Chen Zhao's account.

However, Chen Zhao still has 30 million US dollars in his account, so as long as Nafa Tang En doesn't ask for much, Chen Zhao can still get it.

But the key question is, why?

Why should I borrow money?

If Nafa Tang En's sale of Marina Restaurant's shares to him was considered a favor, it was because he owed Yamila, not Nafa Tang En's recognition.

Because it was Yamila who came forward to help Chen Zhao negotiate.

And Nafa Tang En did not return empty-handed.

"Twain, you are a first-tier superstar. Your net worth should be more than mine." Chen Zhao said with a smile.

"I recently invested in a movie, but the box office was very unsatisfactory after it was released." Nafa Twain said helplessly: "Currently, the cash is almost zero."

Chen Zhao knows that for tycoons with huge assets, their cash flow is estimated to be only about 5% of all assets.

For these capitalists, putting more than 5% of cash in the bank is a loss.

Take Chen Zhao, for example, who is now converting cash into investment projects.

Of course, the difference is that Chen Zhao did not borrow money from the bank.

Therefore, if one of Chen Zhao's projects fails, it will at most be a debt, but it will not affect Chen Zhao's credit.

"I need 30 million U.S. dollars." Nafa Twain said: "I can guarantee that I will pay it back within three months, and the interest rate will definitely be higher than that of banks."

"Can you tell me where you need money?" Chen Zhao asked.

"I need to repay the bank loan, and some studio remuneration has not yet been paid." Nafa Twain said: "Originally, I thought that the movies I invested in should be able to make a small profit after they were released, but I I still overestimated my knowledge of the film market."
