Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Chen, can you bear to let them down?" Lisfar looked at Chen Zhao.

"Let's wait until I'm free in a few days. I'm quite busy these days." Chen Zhao said.

"Chen, can you guarantee their safety?" Laura was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, my pet won't hurt anyone."

"Risfall, are you the chairman of GDB Ocean?" Huinip felt that Risfall looked familiar, but she couldn't confirm it.

Whinip operates a supermarket chain with branches in four California cities, including one in Los Angeles.

However, it is definitely incomparable to Lisfar in terms of equivalent power, and the two of them have no business dealings.

Whinip was impressed by Risfall only because Risfall had appeared in some business magazines.

"Hello Ms. Huinip, I know you. You run a supermarket chain brand. I quite agree with your business philosophy. If there is an opportunity in the future, maybe we can cooperate."

Of course, these are just social polite words. One is an ocean-going person and the other is a supermarket owner. There is almost no interaction between them.

Although supermarkets also need transportation, in most cases they use air or land transportation rather than ocean transportation.

If it is a super enterprise like Wal-Mart, it can be used for ocean transportation, but for Huinip's supermarket chain, it is completely unnecessary.

"How did you and Chen meet?" Huinip asked.

"My wife had some health problems, and Chen helped me cure my wife's illness."

"Oh? Laura doesn't look like she's sick."

Laura smiled and took off her wig: "I suffer from alopecia."

Although Laura's head is still bald, it has been given a layer of very short hair.

"Chen, I have also been troubled by hair loss recently. At my age, can I still be treated?" Huinip asked.

"But judging from your complexion, it may be physiological hair loss caused by work stress. This problem is not a big problem, and it is relatively simple to treat. I have an ointment here that I prepared myself. If you apply it, it should be able to solve your problem. Hair loss problem.”

"Huinipu, I don't want this ointment of unknown origin." Laurent said inappropriately.

Laurent held it in all night and finally couldn't help but quarrel with Chen Zhao.

"Laurent, there is really nothing I can do about your hair loss caused by sexual dysfunction."

"Who has sexual dysfunction? Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, please stop saying a word. Today, you said that the relationship between you two has eased. You just drank a little and started arguing again."

Fortunately, both Chen Zhao and Laurent stopped talking and there was no further conflict.

They were all a little cautious, worried about saying what they had done to each other in the past two days.

At this BBQ, everyone was eating and drinking, and the children were acting wildly.

Everyone had a great time, but Kane, Kareem and Howard didn't drink.

Regardless of how timid they were in front of Chen Zhao, in fact they were all very professional bodyguards.

When the guests dispersed, he also helped send Dale and Risfall home.

Chen Zhao and Fali were cleaning up the mess, and the work didn't end until after ten o'clock.

…

The next day, Chen Zhao went to the construction site in Mirror Lake.

To check on the progress of the new home construction, Felwood and Cisco came out.

"Mr. Chen."

"Felwood, how is my house doing?"

"The main part has been built so far. The main part is being constructed relatively quickly, but the construction of the external and internal parts will be slower, as well as the decoration part."

"Just tell me how long it will take. You also know that the house I originally lived in has been burned down. Now I am staying at a friend's house, so I hope it can be faster."

"Mr. Chen, this is not something I can do as quickly as I want. For some projects, the first thing to ensure is the quality of the project. After all, it is built by the lake. If there is a problem with the quality of the project, it is likely to endanger the entire building structure, so it cannot be in a hurry."

"I know, just tell me how long it will take to build it."

Chen Zhao was also impatient. No matter how good his relationship with Rasfa and Zola was, a house that was not his own was still not his own.

Not only him, but Fali too, the house Zola lent him was very nice.

But Chen Zhao and Fali could never regard the mountainside villa as their home.

They feel more like staying in a hotel.

"At least two months."

"Okay." Chen Zhao glanced at the main body of the building. Now it's not even a rough house.

Because of the unique design of Chen Zhao's new home, the main materials of the new home are not brick and earth structures, but carbonized steel and glass.

This material is as tough as steel but also has higher plasticity.

It is lighter than steel bars and can avoid lightning strikes.

Of course, load-bearing walls in some locations and main support points are essential.

Chen Zhao and Fali's aesthetics both tend to have a strong modern architectural style, so the buildings designed by Robbio for them also tend to be modern and have a more technological feel.

There is a wooden plank bridge extending for more than ten meters by the lake, and a small pier has been built.

This pier should be regarded as the simplest construction in the entire project.

However, given the depth of the water in Mirror Lake, it is most likely that only small boats can be berthed. Medium-sized ships, let alone berthed, cannot even enter.

The water engineering team hired by Risfall has also begun to widen and deepen the outer channel.

Although Chen Zhao is anxious about the progress of his new house, building a house is not about stacking blocks, so Chen Zhao can only wait patiently.

And Chen Zhao must seize the time to make money. After all, the internal furniture and some supporting electronic equipment will not be a small sum.

For example, a high-end home theater costs $80,000 to $90,000.

A set of kitchen equipment also costs 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and the bathroom equipment is also about the same price.

Chen Zhao hasn't calculated the specific figure yet, but it is estimated to be 300,000 US dollars.

There is also the furniture. Chen Zhao has already agreed with Bant that custom-made furniture from the carpentry workshop of Bant and his friends will also cost 20,000 to 30,000 US dollars.

If it were just electronics, electrical equipment and furniture for home decoration, Chen Zhao would still have plenty of money.

However, Chen Zhao felt that since the dock was built, should there be another yacht?

When it comes to choosing a yacht, Chen Zhao prefers to buy a second-hand yacht.

For yachts of the same model, the price difference between brand-new yachts and second-hand yachts is two to three times.

While Chen Zhao's new home was being built, Lao Hei's new home was also being built, but Chen Zhao didn't know yet how well Lao Hei's new home was being built.

Chen Zhao went to see the original space gap twice. The three-headed dog has been a little depressed recently.

Because Lao Hei was not at home for a long time, Chen Zhao did not bring their playmates to play.
