Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Grandma, shall we go to the hotel next?"

"Check out any good restaurants." The 23rd generation said calmly.

Emerald, the assistant accompanying him, was hired by the 23rd generation himself.

Emera is just an ordinary person. Her understanding of the 23rd generation is limited to knowing that the 23rd generation is the Grand Duke of Hungary and has blood relations with the royal families of more than a dozen European countries.

"Marina's, a favorite restaurant among celebrities in Los Angeles."

"Well, make an appointment." Twenty-three generations said.

Maybe for those celebrities, they need to queue up, but for the 23rd generation, it doesn't need to be that troublesome.

Her identity can solve many things for her.

Even to go to Buckingham Palace, she didn't have to queue.

How to solve it specifically? Simply put, just look up the owner of the restaurant and give them a call.

…

"Hello, Mr. Chen? I'm the manager of Marina Restaurant, Deborah."

"Is there a problem?"

"Mr. Chen, there is a Grand Duke from Europe who wants to book a private room in the restaurant. I would like to ask what you mean."

"Huh? Are you sure you haven't been cheated?"

"The caller was from the Hungarian Consulate."

"Oh, then just order it for them." Chen Zhao said calmly.

Although Marina Restaurant advocates fairness.

But there is no real fairness in the world.

Even Chen Zhao needs to follow a rule.

Having a European grand duke come to his restaurant to spend money is also a good publicity for Marina Restaurant.

Chen Zhao looked at the time and almost had to go to the appointment.

I made an appointment with Wang He to meet at the restaurant at six o'clock.

When Chen Zhao arrived at the restaurant, he was half an hour early.

At this moment, Nafa Tang En ran into Chen Zhao's box.

"Mr. Nafa, why are you here?"

Chen Zhao looked at Nafa Tang En, who looked a little embarrassed at the moment.

The last few times I saw Nafa Tang En, he was always dressed neatly and without losing his grace.

But at this moment, Nafa Tang En looked a little down and out.

"Mr. Chen, please help me." Nafa Tang En's face was filled with bitterness. He had not shaved for an unknown number of days. He had stubble on his face, his hair was a little messy, his eyes were wandering, and he looked depressed.

When he got close to Chen Zhao, Chen Zhao could smell a trace of his scent.

Nafa Tang En didn't take a shower for who knows how long.

"Mr. Nafa, I'm afraid I can't be of much help. I don't have much cash. All my money has been invested." Chen Zhao hoped that Nafa Tang En could take the initiative to leave.

He didn't want to speak too harshly, but he wouldn't help Nafa Tang En either.

One is that he is not his friend.

Another point is that Chen Zhao holds grudges very much.

Nafa Tang En once wanted to defraud himself of his money.

He has mortgaged 30% of his shares in Marina Restaurant multiple times.

He actually wanted to sell it to himself for 30 million US dollars.

Based on this, it is absolutely impossible for Chen Zhao to lend him money.

And now he is also committing suicide. Multiple mortgages have caused him to owe more and more money.

Chen Zhao had heard from Andrews before that Nafa Twain owed the bank as much as US$240 million.

But he probably owes more money to private loans, and private loans have compound interest.

Chen Zhao is now considered a super rich man and he does not dare to take on loan sharks.

Loan sharks eat people without spitting out their bones, and whoever touches them will die.

Nafa Tang En's acceptance of loan sharking is equivalent to drinking poison to quench his thirst.

It can relieve a temporary emergency, but it will lead to a worse death.

Coupled with the multiple mortgages of 30% of Marina Restaurant's shares, the interest to be repaid is also terrifyingly high.

I'm afraid he currently owes more than $500 million in foreign debt.

And Nafa Twain definitely does not have such high assets.

The only thing he can do now is file for bankruptcy protection.

The consequence of this is that banks will no longer exert pressure for the time being.

But all his assets will also be frozen by the bank.

He will be left with nothing.

Of course, this is not the scariest thing.

The scariest thing is that private lenders don’t care whether they have bankruptcy protection.

The best outcome for him would be to die on the street.

So he didn't dare to file for bankruptcy protection at all.

He felt that he could still make a comeback, he felt that there was still a chance.

"Mr. Chen, please, I beg you..." Nafa Tang En was already kneeling on the ground.

He was really desperate. He didn't even dare to go back to his home these days.

He only dared to stay in a small hotel to avoid debt collectors.

As long as he turns on his cell phone, all the caller IDs will be debt collection calls.

"You have deceived me." Chen Zhao said.

"I know it was my fault, but...but at that time I was already at the end of my rope." Nafa Tang En said desperately.

He knew that Chen Zhao was rich because he had just learned through a friend that Chen Zhao had ordered a superyacht from a yacht company with a cost of US$320 million.

If Chen Zhao is willing to help him, then he will definitely be able to help him.

"I have the copyright, I have several movie rights, and I also have the "Thief" series, which I starred in. This is a popular series of movies. Do you know the global box office of the last one? 830 million US dollars." Fa Tang En said.

Chen Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Since you have the copyright, why don't you sell it to a film company?"

"This is a joint copyright between me and DSN. No other company in Hollywood dares to buy it, and DSN is crazy about lowering the price."

"Since other film companies dare not buy it, why do you think I dare to buy it?"

"You're not from Hollywood, you're not restricted by them."

Chen Zhao thought for a while: "I need to make a call and ask."

At this moment, the door of the box opened.

Zhou Yu and Wang He originally thought there was no one in the box, so they came in without knocking.

As a result, I saw this embarrassing scene as soon as I came in.

Zhou Yu and Wang He recognized the man kneeling on the ground at first sight.

Isn’t it the Hollywood A-list star Nafa Twain?

"Can you please wait outside for a moment? Mr. Nafa and I have some personal matters to discuss."

"Sorry, Mr. Chen." Wang He closed the box door respectfully.

"Brother Wang, what's going on? Is that a Hollywood superstar?"

"Mr. Chen has very strong connections in Hollywood. Don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked. Knowing too much will do you no good." Wang He said calmly.

"Yes, I know." Zhou Yu is not the stupid young man like Li Youkang.

However, he had already made up his mind about the scene he just saw.

In his mind, he has determined that Chen Zhao's background is absolutely terrifying.

All the top stars in Hollywood have to kowtow to him.

Wang He was also curious as to why Nafa Tang En knelt down to Chen Zhao.

But he was smart enough not to ask, since it had nothing to do with him anyway.

He and Zhou Yu waited patiently outside the door.
