Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

After eating fifty dishes, even Li Xin couldn't hold it anymore.

At the later stage, Li Xin was already stuffing things into his mouth.

But Chen Zhao always maintained an efficient way to eat.

Chen Zhao grinned and looked at Li Xin's ugly face.

"You look like you can't eat any more."

"We'll see how you settle the bill later."

Li Xin couldn't eat anymore, and she didn't plan to continue ordering.

After all, if she wasted food in front of a million people, her live broadcast room would probably be banned.

And she didn't think that even if she won, she would be able to get the bet.

At the end of the day, winning or losing depends on the bill.

If the man in front of her can't even settle the bill, then she will naturally win.

"Waiter, Checkout."

When Li Xin got the bill, her heart was still twitching.

At this time, Chen Zhao also waved: "Bring me my bill."

After Chen Zhao got the bill, he stood up and walked to Li Xin.

"Five hundred and eighty-five thousand dollars, it looks like you lost."

Li Xin looked at Chen Zhao with a sneer: "You haven't settled the bill yet."

"Checkout? Why should I pay in my own store?" Chen Zhao's smile was always so unbeatable.

Li Xin's eyes widened, and at the same time, more than one million people in the live broadcast room also showed shocked expressions.

"You mean...this store belongs to you?"

"Didn't I tell you? Oh... maybe I forgot, but I still want to thank you for spending 459,000 US dollars in my store."

"You lied to me?"

"When did I lie to you? Please tell me, where did I lie to you?"

Li Xin thought about it and couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Chen Zhao never deceived her from beginning to end.

However, Li Xin had preconceived the idea that Chen Zhao was a pauper who would rob him of a hundred dollars.

What she needs to consider now is whether to default on the bill.

From a legal perspective, their bet has no legal effect.

However, Li Xin is a public figure after all.

He broke his trust, and he broke his trust in front of a million people.

It would be a huge blow to her career.

"Just consider me losing." Li Xin finally decided to accept the result.

She is willing to admit defeat, even though she is not very willing.

But at this time, she was already riding a tiger.

At this time, the audience members in the live broadcast room donated generously.

In a short period of time, Li Xin received hundreds of thousands of rewards.

Although it was nothing compared to her losses tonight.

However, the popularity of the live broadcast room has soared, allowing her to recover and compensate for some losses.

But after all, he was tricked by Chen Zhao.

Li Xin still left with an unhappy face.

At the door, Li Xin was waiting for the car, and saw Chen Zhao's car slowly passing by her.

The car Chen Zhao drove was the same supercar she took a selfie with when she was in Hollywood that day.

"Miss, are you alone? Do you want to take you for a ride? No? Then forget it. Goodbye."

Li Xin looked at Chen Zhao's back and stamped his feet angrily.

To Chen Zhao, the hundreds of thousands of dollars he won were nothing.

Even if he does nothing, his daily income is more than this.

However, this little episode made Chen Zhao find fun.

…

"Boss, are you sure you don't need me to accompany you to Istanbul?" Portia looked at Chen Zhao expectantly.

Her face and eyes showed that she really wanted to go to Istanbul.

"No need." Chen Zhao said calmly.

This time Chen Zhao only planned to go out alone.

There are so many children at home, and Shan Fali probably can't take care of them alone.

So I let Portia stay and help Fali share the burden.

As for Portia's personal thoughts, that doesn't matter.

"Boss, do you really not think about it anymore?"

"Why should we consider it? This is something that has still been decided."

"But, I want to go to Istanbul."

"Oh, I can give you a few days of annual leave if you need it."

"But aren't you going to go the day after tomorrow?"

"Yeah, but I don't need you to go."

No matter how much Portia hinted, Chen Zhao remained indifferent.

Fali came out with two glasses of drinks: "Chen, since Portia wants to go, let her go."

"There are still a lot of things to do in Los Angeles. If she leaves, who will handle them for me?"

Chen Zhao said it in a high-sounding way, and Portia looked depressed.

How could Portia not know the nature of her boss?

From the time she became Chen Zhao's personal assistant, she had an understanding of her boss's character.

And after such a long period of contact, she knew Chen Zhao well.

Of course... you can also say that you hate it deeply.

Chen Zhao never considers her feelings in anything he does.

Chen Zhao has always been willful, and he must execute whatever decision he makes.

And it doesn’t matter whether you want it or not.

Most of the tasks Chen Zhao gave her were troublesome.

Although I am leaving for Istanbul the day after tomorrow.

But there are really a lot of trivial matters in these two days.

Not to mention visiting relatives and friends.

Anyway, human nature is inevitable.

There is also the fact that Felwood and Cisco have provided the first design drawing of a private airport and a preliminary quotation.

The initial budget is $350 million.

However, Chen Zhao didn't like this design, so Felwood Cisco didn't say anything and called the designer back to redesign it.

Felwood Cisco has always had the most pious attitude towards his parents.

Chen Zhao has provided him with countless projects in two years.

Therefore, to Felwood Cisco, Chen Zhao is the bread and butter of his family.

Seagate Yacht Company called again and wanted to invite Chen Zhao to a banquet at their head office.

Only Chen Zhao would be crazy to accept such an invitation.

Spend twenty hours flying to attend such a high-sounding banquet.

There is also a lot going on at the association headquarters.

Because everyone is preparing for the third scarlet mission.

The other ten people who have obtained quotas are also preparing for the battle of the Holy Glory.

However, currently no one knows the specific activities of the Battle of the Holy Glory.

So there is no way to prepare even if you want to.

But what is certain is that the most important requirement for participating in the Battle of the Holy Glory is strength.

As long as you are strong enough, you can ignore any rules.

For example, like Chen Zhao, even if he doesn't take the initiative to seek a spot in the Battle of the Holy Glory, someone will take the initiative to offer the spot to him.

It was time to set off on the third day.

Everyone came to Mirror Lake Manor and set off with Chen Zhao.

I wonder if Portia wanted to take revenge on Chen Zhao, so she booked a flight for Chen Zhao at eight in the morning.

Based on Portia's understanding of Chen Zhao's daily routine, she must know that Chen Zhao would not get up so early in the morning.

However, there is no way to change the ticket at this time.

On the way to the airport, Chen Zhao was still sleeping in the back seat.
