Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Teacher, can you lend me some money?"

Chen Zhao was very surprised when he received La Boer's call.

If some students have difficulties in life, Chen Zhao would not mind helping them.

But La Boer is definitely not a student who lives a difficult life.

The few times Chen Zhao came into contact with her, every piece of her outfit was from a famous brand.

It costs at least two to three thousand dollars, not counting the cosmetics she uses.

Chen Zhao is rich, but he doesn't want to buy luxury goods for his students.

"How much do you want to borrow?"

"Ten thousand dollars."

"Give me a reason to lend you money."

"I can pay you back, within a month, I will pay you back $20,000."

Chichi——

Chen Zhao didn't dare to borrow at such a high interest rate.

This is a loan shark, and Chen Zhao may even lose his title as a professor, and may even go to jail for it.

As long as La Boer reported it to the school or even called the police, Chen Zhao could not defend himself.

Even though Chen Zhao didn't care about the title of professor, Chen Zhao didn't want to bear the risk of taking the blame.

"That's not a good reason."

"Teacher, what do you think I should do?"

"What do you want the money for?"

"I have an interview opportunity the day after tomorrow. This interview is very important to me. I need to buy cosmetics and clothes." La Boer said bluntly.

"You must have been a model for a long time, right? Don't you have any savings at all?"

Models are not said to be high-income earners, but at least their incomes should not be low.

Chen Zhao had learned about the market situation when he chatted with Zola before.

Ordinary models can earn three hundred to five hundred dollars per show. Although they can't walk in shows every day, they can still have several shows in a month.

And most of the shows are not rehearsed, they are only given a flow chart, and then a show can be completed in less than an hour.

Only high-end shows like the Baroness will hire models to rehearse for several days.

Models with slightly better conditions may even attend two or three shows every day.

A show is not a venue, but a walk back and forth on the T stage. This is called a show.

It may be the same show, but it doesn’t matter how many shows it takes.

The same is true for models' fees, one income per show.

Chen Zhao estimated that La Bo'er should be classified as a senior model. It doesn't mean how well-known she is, at least she should have been in the industry for a long time.

So there should be plenty of job opportunities, and at least some savings.

"I have no savings. My monthly income of US$10,000 to US$20,000 is almost enough for my expenses. Unfortunately this month, my credit card maxed out, so I need an emergency sum of money now," said La Boer. .

"Does it cost you $10,000 to prepare for an interview opportunity?"

"Of course it's worth it."

"Send me your letter of guarantee, and I will lend you money without any interest from you. As long as you can get at least B+ or above during the monthly exam, I will lend you the money. If you take the monthly exam, If you don’t get B+ or above, then you have to put aside your modeling work temporarily and take remedial courses.”

"Okay." La Bo'er's academic performance is quite good, so she feels that B+ is not difficult as long as she works a little harder.

Subsequently, Chen Zhao received an electronic guarantee.

Chen Zhao also readily transferred the money.

…

La Boer got the money, her face full of joy.

After all, it is easy to borrow money these days, but it is very difficult to borrow money without paying for it.

For example, her agent, although Xisen.

Although Xisen is very capable and well-connected, he is not a good man or woman.

Asking him to borrow money is like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth.

At this moment, Sisson's call came.

"Labor, do you need money? I can lend it to you if you need it."

"No need, Xisen, I have money." La Boer said.

"Well, if you need it, I can lend it to you at any time. After all, you are my general."

"Thank you, I really don't need it."

Xisen is really a pity. During this period, he has been looking for opportunities to control La Boer.

It's a pity that La Bo'er is a genius, and ordinary moves are almost useless against her.

As a modeling agent, his income is actually quite high.

But he also has another identity, a pimp.

Many models have been dragged down by him and controlled by him forever.

Introducing its models to wealthy people and earning commissions from them is far beyond what a model agent can compare to.

The commission of at least ten to twenty thousand dollars each time is much higher than the commission of hundreds or thousands of dollars charged by a show.

La Boer's conditions are very good. If he can drag her into the water, then she can definitely become his money-making weapon.

…

"President, Norma is here, and Mr. Lewis is here too."

"Oh, are they coming? Then I'll go there."

When Chen Zhao rushed to the association headquarters, Louis and Norma had been here for a long time.

Accompanied by West, the two were touring the headquarters' facilities.

Because the association helped Louis and Norma get through difficult times, they are familiar with them.

Except for a few newcomers who have never met before, most of the others are relatively familiar.

"Hi, Louis, Norma." Chen Zhao greeted.

"Chen." Lewis came up and hugged Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao looked into Norma's eyes. She looked like a female pirate. One eye was wearing an eyepatch, and the other one was shining with a green light, the eye of nightmare.

"Chen, I leave Norma to you."

"Wait... I need to explain some things to you two face to face first." Chen Zhao waved his hand: "First of all, the Supernatural Association often comes into contact with some dangerous tasks and operations, which are dangerous to a certain extent, so I can't Ensure Norma’s absolute safety.”

"Norma..." Louis also looked at Norma worriedly.

Of course, he hopes that Norma can be safe, even if she is not exposed to magic, just stay at home and wait until one day to take over the management of the family.

If Chen Zhao's statement is followed, Norma may be exposed to dangerous things.

Just thinking about it, if Norma was allowed to face the kind of danger she encountered on the third night every day, Louis would feel horrified.

"Uncle, I like it here and I hope to stay here."

"Chen, can you give Norma special care?" Louis asked.

Chen Zhao shook his head: "No, the rules are the rules."

If Chen Zhao gave Norma special care, it would be unfair to others.

In the association, there are several younger ones who also need special care.

Take Moi, for example, and Giselle and Alas, they are all very young.

But they are treated the same as everyone else, and they face the same dangers when encountering tasks.

"Mr. Chen, I can be like everyone else," Norma said.

"You should call me President now."
