Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Fali's face was full of disbelief.

"How did you earn it?"

"I sold the wine in your mother's supermarket and priced it at US$100 million. It was originally intended as a gimmick to attract customers, but people actually bought it."

"Someone buys wine worth 100 million US dollars?" Fali's expression was stunned.

"I'm also wondering who would buy it."

At this time, Chen Zhao's phone rang again.

"Hello, Rasfa?"

"Chen, Steven asked me to borrow money today."

"Steven borrowed money from you?" Chen Zhao was stunned: "How much did he borrow from you?"

"Forty million dollars."

"do what?"

"He wants to buy wine, a bottle of wine worth $100 million."

"Fake, is that my bottle of wine?" Chen Zhao was furious: "Is Steven crazy?"

"I feel like he's been a little crazy lately."

"Why is he asking you to borrow money? He can't come up with $100 million?"

"Nonsense, there are no more than a hundred people in this world who can spend 100 million US dollars at a time, and these 100 people definitely do not include Steven. Although Steven's assets are close to 500 million US dollars, he has no cash. One hundred million dollars.”

"Wait a moment." Chen Zhao hung up Rasfa's call, and then called Huinipu: "Huinipu, the wine wasn't sold, right?"

"Not yet, I'm negotiating with the other party."

"If you don't want to sell it, just reject it directly."

"Ah? Are you sure? This is 100 million US dollars."

"The person who bought the wine is my friend, and he's been a little out of his mind lately."

Chen Zhao hung up the phone. Chen Zhao had never been so close to a billionaire, but he still personally ruined this opportunity.

He really doesn't want to make this money.

At this time, Steven's call came.

"Chen, why did you refuse my request to buy wine? Do you think I am not qualified to drink your wine?"

“If you want to drink, come to my house and drink instead of going crazy and spending $100 million.”

"I don't need this little money."

"Fake, why don't you go to Rasfa to borrow money when you don't have any shortage? Are you thinking about shit?"

"Anyway, after the new movie is released, my company's stock will definitely plummet. It's better to mortgage it to Rasfa at a low price now."

"Get over here now, right now."

"No time."

"If you don't have time to come over to my place, do you have time to buy wine with a check for 100 million US dollars?"

Chen Zhao didn't know what Steven was thinking: "You want to drink wine worth 100 million US dollars, I have it here, I don't want you to pay a penny."

"I'm busy."

"Don't you want to have a taste of what a $100 million wine tastes like?"

Steven's alcohol addiction was a direct result. In fact, he was just a hothead.

But now, he really wants to know.

What does a $100 million wine taste like?

Half of it was alcohol addiction, the other half was curiosity.

"Okay, I'll go over." Steven finally compromised.

An hour later, Steven came.

Chen Zhao swung the wine and said, "Let's go sit in the backyard."

The two of them were sitting under a big tree. When Chen Zhao opened the bottle cap, the aroma that seemed to be substantial came out.

Just the aroma of the wine makes people want to stop.

“Is this a $100 million wine?”

"This is just the aroma of the wine. You should know that I am very good at maintaining health." Chen Zhao poured a glass for Steven: "Did you finish the wine last time? How was the effect?"

"Is the wine better than last time?"

"Well, much better."

"I feel now that $100 million is not a loss."

"Don't drink it all in one gulp, otherwise you will get drunk directly."

Steven took a sip lightly, and even though the wine only touched his lips, he still felt the indescribable and pure taste.

"This wine makes me feel how beautiful the world is."

Daydreaming has such an effect, even the most gloomy person can feel how beautiful the world is.

"Steven, how about we make a bet?"

"A bet? What bet?"

"Just bet on your movie box office."

"What's the point of betting on this? I'll definitely pay with my blood anyway."

In fact, the filming of this movie only cost 30 million US dollars, and including publicity and promotion, the total amount is only 60 million US dollars.

Even if Steven had to pay for it himself, he could still afford the compensation.

What really makes Steven unable to let go is that once this movie is released, what will really hit him is his personal reputation.

"Then what do you think the box office of your movie will be?"

"In North America, it will definitely not exceed $50 million."

"Then I guess this movie will cost 300 million US dollars." Chen Zhao said.

"you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure." Chen Zhao nodded.

"So what if you lose?" Steven asked.

"From now on, you can drink from my wine." Chen Zhao said, "But what if you lose?"

"Haha... If I lose, I will be very happy. You can decide the male and female protagonists of my next movie. Even if you want me to make you and Fali the male and female protagonists, I will help with the filming."

"Don't even think about it." Chen Zhao rolled his eyes, took out a lucky gold coin and stuffed it into Steven's hand.

"What is this for? Is this gold coin valuable?"

"It's really valuable in the sense that when you need good luck, it's the first drop of blood on it."

"Haha... you are becoming more and more superstitious."

The two of them drank until late, perhaps because of daydreaming, and the gloom of Steven's past life disappeared.

Steven's laughter could be heard from the backyard from time to time. This time Chen Zhao was getting drunk with Steven.

In the end, it was the evil demon who dragged Chen Zhao and Steven into the house.

Steven woke up at noon the next day, and his daydreaming was supposed to last three days.

Chen Zhao mixed some ordinary wine, which greatly reduced the effect of daydreaming.

If Steven really slept for three days, he would probably go crazy.

"Fake, you bastard, let me sleep on the sofa for another night." When Steven got up, he immediately cursed.

"Are you awake? Do you want some lunch?" Chen Zhao walked in with a lunch.

"How much did I drink last night? I actually slept for more than ten hours."

"It's quite a lot anyway. How do you feel now? Is there any discomfort?"

"Hey, it doesn't seem uncomfortable at all." Steven didn't feel any discomfort from a hangover.

"Remember the bet we made?"

"Of course I remember, I'm not an old fool." Steven took the lunch and started eating it with big mouthfuls: "Whether you eat or live here, it is so perfect. It's a pity that you don't live alone. Otherwise, I would I won’t leave here.”

Steven is still a very measured person. Although he likes Chen Zhao's villa and the surrounding environment very much, he will not shamelessly come here every two days to disturb Chen Zhao.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Do you need me to send you off?"

"Fake, do I look like I'm too old to even drive a car?"

"I just talk casually, and you just listen casually. Okay, you can get out of my house."
