Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Hi Gaia."

Portia walked into Gaia's gym.

"The scale here is really quite big." Portia visited Gaia's gym.

"Why, didn't you go to work today?"

"There is nothing to do today. If there is nothing to do, the boss will not follow him."

"Would you like to apply for a fitness card here?"

"Can our relationship be free for me?"

"Actually, we're not that familiar." Gaia looked at Portia with a smile.

In the end, Portia still didn't apply for a fitness card with Gaia.

Although her time is relatively generous, it is not fixed.

"Hello, are you Mr. Chen's assistant?"

"Yes, I am, who are you?"

"I am Felwood Cisco, a construction engineering company. I will send you a document now. Please forward it to Mr. Chen on your behalf."

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, Portia looked at Gaia: "I have a job again."

"Okay, remember to come here to play next time."

"If you would give me a gym card for free, I would love to come here and play."

Since Portia returned to Los Angeles, she no longer dares to spend money casually.

She calculated by herself that she had spent at least two hundred thousand dollars in Japan.

Now, in addition to needing to repay his credit card, he also owes Chen Zhao a huge sum of nearly 150,000 US dollars.

Portia doesn't dare to spend a penny now.

As for her current job, if she dares to deal with it carelessly.

It is estimated that Chen Zhao will leave her dead on the street tomorrow.

Portia opened the document.

This is a quotation, private airport construction assessment report and budget.

There are four specifications quoted, all of which are design specifications for medium-sized and small airports.

The cheapest of these four specifications costs US$300 million, and the most expensive one is quoted at US$630 million.

Portia took a breath, her boss must be too rich.

Although Portia had heard Chen Zhao mention several times before that he wanted to buy a private jet.

But buying a private jet and building a private airport are not the same concept.

Private jets, unless you buy a giant in the sky, will only cost tens of millions of dollars for the cheap ones, and about 100 million US dollars for the expensive ones.

But private airports are different. The cheapest offer is US$300 million. If the cost of land is included, the price will double again.

Portia came to Mingyue Villa and passed the document to Chen Zhao.

"Boss, this is the file Felwood and Cisco gave you. Take a look."

"Oh, I see."

Chen Zhao was sparring with Fali, and Fali was punching and kicking Chen Zhao.

This is the first time Portia has seen Fali take action.

In fact, Fali's current physique is already very good.

But because she is an ordinary person, the tip is that she cannot improve too much.

Because there is no protection from magic power, deformities will occur if the physique is improved too much.

But even so, Fali's current physique is still four times that of ordinary people.

After all, Chen Zhao was at home and provided Fali with most of the food whenever he had nothing to do.

These foods will not mutate Fali's body structure.

However, this impact is subtle.

This change will quietly happen in Fali's body.

Fali prefers to fight with gloves and does not like direct contact with fists.

Because it would leave calluses, and she didn't like her skin to become rough.

Moreover, Chen Zhao is really rough-skinned and thick-skinned. Without protection, it would cause great harm to her hands.

After half a minute, Fali finally stopped attacking.

"Portia, do you want to give it a try?"

"Um...it's better not to use it." Portia really wanted to try the feeling of beating up her boss.

But thinking about it again, she still killed this desirable idea.

"It's okay, let's give it a try."

Portia looked at Chen Zhao, who shrugged: "Come on."

Portia finally puts on the gloves.

She has no fighting skills, and her punches are no different from those of ordinary women.

"Your arms should be level with your shoulders, punch at 90 degrees, and use the elasticity of the joints to punch." Chen Zhao reminded.

Portia tried another punch, and she felt like her fist hit the wall.

Chen Zhao protected his face with both arms and said at the same time: "You can try attacking from other angles. Your straight punch is too monotonous."

After more than ten minutes, Portia was so tired that she was covered in hot sweat.

"I can't do it anymore, I can't do it anymore." Portia panted and pinched her waist.

"Let's go to the beach to swim." Fali pulled Portia away.

Portia is very envious of Fali's physical fitness and her figure.

There is almost no fat on Fali's body, and every muscle is not an exaggerated bulge.

But it gives people a streamlined aesthetic.

But envy is envy, and Portia also knows that she can't compete with Fali.

Fali can go shopping and exercise every day, and even eat nutritious meals with relish.

She is someone who needs to run for life and work hard.

And she also heard that Fali was going back to Baywatch.

Although it is also a job, Fali's job is her hobby.

My job is to make a living.

In the evening, after Fali stayed with Portia to have dinner, Portia left.

"Hey, Miss Portia, I have a small role tomorrow. You can come over and try it out."

The person who called Portia was from the Screen Actors Guild. Although Portia was a low-level amateur actor, she was still registered with the Screen Actors Guild.

In fact, it is very simple to register as a member of the Screen Actors Guild. As long as you have played at least one role, even if you are a cannon fodder with no face, you only need to be willing to pay more than a thousand US dollars in membership fees every year.

Of course, there are benefits. Members of the Screen Actors Guild can enjoy some resources within the union.

At the same time, you also enjoy a certain guaranteed minimum hourly wage.

But being a member of the Screen Actors Guild isn't all good.

For example, the producers of some blockbusters do not like to use supporting actors from the Screen Actors Guild.

Because using actors from the Screen Actors Guild, you need to abide by the rules of the Screen Actors Guild, such as the minimum guarantee, such as working hours, and at least one second of frontal close-ups.

Of course, there are rules and bottom lines, which also means that actors from the Screen Actors Guild are of a higher standard than those who are recruited from the street or become actors out of interest.

Portia was overjoyed when she heard the news.

I have already begun to imagine what my new role will be like.

How long will there be close-ups, will there be lines, will it be a big production, etc.

In fact, it is this kind of dream and fantasy that supports the vast majority of unknown actors, gritting their teeth and persisting.
