Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Alex and Chen Zhao walked out of the restaurant.

"Speaking of which, do you want an IOU?" Alex glanced at Chen Zhao: "If it's just a check, I have ten thousand ways to refuse it."

"The money on that check is little Gelin's dowry. Do you have the heart to swallow it?"

"Shameless."

Alex glared at Chen Zhao.

She serves as legal counsel to Chen Zhao and the brewery.

She had clearly seen the brewery's ledger and Chen Zhao's bank entry and exit details.

She knew very well how much Chen Zhao's monthly income was.

The money he lent to himself was only one-twentieth of his monthly income.

She knew very well how profitable Chen Zhao was.

Even most of the Fortune 500 are not necessarily more profitable than Chen Zhao.

Even if Chen Zhao's net worth is still behind the top 500 people in the world.

But Chen Zhao's net worth is real.

Many rich people in the world have their wealth built up from stocks.

When the stocks of the companies they control perform well in the stock market, their net worth is high.

If the stocks in their hands perform poorly in the stock market, then their net worth is low.

Billions of dollars evaporate at every turn, and that is a common occurrence.

But Chen Zhao is different. Chen Zhao's income is like a money printing machine.

Unless the US dollar depreciates, it is completely impossible for Chen Zhao to lose money.

Alex even encouraged Chen Zhao to put their beer brand on the market sometime so that she could make a fortune in the stock market.

But Alex also knew that Chen Zhao would not agree.

For Chen Zhao, if Dashan Beer goes on the market.

Then Chen Zhao's virtual net worth will skyrocket, perhaps several times.

But in the long run, Chen Zhao will suffer a big loss.

Why do those rich people who have made a lot of money in the stock market and real estate market like to invest in industry?

Because industry represents stable industrial value.

Chen Zhao holds an absolute share of Dashan Beer.

It is a super high-quality fixed asset.

The people who sell are also those who have actual interests tied to Chen Zhao.

You can indeed make a lot of money by listing it on the market.

But it lost stable and long-term dividends.

If there is a financial crisis or stock market crash.

It can't affect Chen Zhao either.

This is also the greatest value of the industry, as stable as a dog.

The two of them were walking on the street, chatting in random directions.

At this time, a woman walked in front of Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao's footsteps paused, and the woman opposite him paused as well.

The woman glanced at Alex next to Chen Zhao.

Then he passed by Chen Zhao without any greeting.

"Chen, let me remind you that you have a family."

"What are you thinking about? Don't think about it in your head, okay?" Chen Zhao rolled his eyes.

"You dare to say that it has nothing to do with that woman?"

"It has something to do with Ge Lin and Fali's previous relationship." Chen Zhao said calmly.

"Oh, is she your ex-girlfriend in China?" Alex asked.

"Fali told you about this?" Chen Zhao was a little surprised.

Alex has been to Mingyue Villa twice.

The first time, I followed Chen Zhao stubbornly.

The other time was little Gelin's birthday party.

"No, it was Gelin who told me." Alex said.

Chen Zhao really didn't expect that he would meet his first love here.

To be honest, Chen Zhao really had nothing to do with her.

If I hadn't suddenly met on the road today.

It is estimated that Chen Zhao only has one name left in his impression of her.

As for feelings? Shit feelings.

Time has long diluted this feeling.

When we broke up, it felt like the world was falling apart and the world was ending.

But that feeling only lasted for two or three days.

Then it almost recovered.

Don't say it's her.

Even Ge Lin is now resurrected and standing in front of Chen Zhao.

It is impossible for Chen Zhao to get back together with Ge Lin.

"As your ex-girlfriend, you didn't know she came to Los Angeles?"

"She and I haven't been in touch for two years, why should I know she came to Los Angeles."

"You really have nothing to do with her?"

"You don't seem qualified to ask me this question, right? It was Fali who asked me, not you."

Chen Zhao said casually.

Alex could feel it.

Chen Zhao's casualness.

It really has nothing to do with past relationships.

After all, Chen Zhao's initial expression of surprise was the same as when he saw the woman.

Then there were no ups and downs in attitude and personality.

It's enough to show that Chen Zhao has already given up.

…

Sun Min looked back at Chen Zhao's back.

She also didn't expect to meet Chen Zhao here.

Although she had long heard that Chen Zhao had gone abroad.

I just didn't expect Chen Zhao to be in Los Angeles.

In two years, Chen Zhao seems to have changed a lot.

Just like Chen Zhao, Sun Min no longer has any feelings for Chen Zhao.

Although the breakup between Sun Min and Chen Zhao was a little utilitarian.

However, the two of them got together and parted easily.

No one is making a fuss.

And Sun Min was very happy that she broke up with Chen Zhao.

After all, her career has grown by leaps and bounds since then.

Sun Min's visit to the United States this time is considered a business trip.

This time I also came here to visit the most luxurious area in the world, Beverly Hills.

However, after this trip, the luxury stores along the streets of Beverly Hills seemed to be just like that.

It wasn't any busier or more upscale than other places she'd been.

These types of famous brand and luxury goods stores can be found all over the world.

This made Sun Min a little disappointed.

But Sun Min didn't go to the truly luxurious place of Beverly Hills.

These are the estates where rich people live.

The manor houses of the rich are the real places where poverty limits imagination.

Nowadays, Sun Min can be regarded as an elite.

She never had the chance to go to those luxurious manors to see her true appearance.

For example, Chen Zhao's Mingyue Villa is in Beverly Hills.

There are many manors in locations that are no worse than the environment of Mingyue Villa.

One-tenth of the world's superyachts are concentrated in Beverly Hills.

Just think about this ratio and you will know how many rich people there are in Beverly Hills.

Sun Min visited several luxury stores and after buying some things, she lost interest.

The prices here are no cheaper than elsewhere.

The customers here are not necessarily richer than elsewhere.

In fact, customers who come to these luxury stores to spend money.

Most of them, like Sun Min, are tourists from other places.

Sun Min's heart moved, and she took out her phone and looked through it.

Now that I have met Chen Zhao, I might as well make an appointment to have a meal.

However, after searching for a long time, I couldn't find Chen Zhao's phone number.

Sun Min pursed her lips. It seemed that she had deleted his phone number a long time ago.

By the way, there seems to be a wx group.

See if he's still in there.

I looked through the chat messages of the classmate group, but couldn't find any messages from Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao's account is still in the group, but he seems to have stopped filling in the group for a long time.
