Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Boss, what is that woman doing to you?" Portia watched Demi leave before returning to Chen Zhao.

Judging from the way the two of them were talking, it didn't look like they were talking about anything serious.

But when she saw Chen Zhao's smiling face, Portia wondered if Chen Zhao had made money again.

I remember the last time Demi came to Chen Zhao for help, the offer was US$20 million.

Moreover, Chen Zhao accepted it reluctantly at the time.

I wonder if Chen Zhao can make Chen Zhao smile so happily this time because he has made a lot of money.

Chen Zhao whistled and lay down on the armchair: "Portia, go get me some beer."

Portia moved a box of beer and placed it next to Chen Zhao: "Boss, have you made a lot of money again?"

"yes……"

"Then why don't you give me a little salary increase for my hard work?"

Chen Zhao glanced at Portia: "Portia, you only see me making money, but you don't see my expenses. My expenses are also very large, so you should not consider raising your salary in the near future."

Portia cursed Chen Zhao in her heart.

This capitalist, vampire.

At this time, Felwood Cisco called again.

It’s time to inspect the Mirror Lake Villa project again.

Felwood Cisco basically calls Chen Zhao two or three times a month.

Of course, Chen Zhao doesn't go every time.

Felwood.Cisco is committed before Christmas.

Chen Zhao and his family can move to their new home in Mirror Lake.

Although Chen Zhao did not impose any requirements on this.

Chen Zhao has been saying that he is not in a hurry.

However, Felwood Cisco's project on Chen Zhao has never failed.

To him, Chen Zhao is a big benefactor.

And he also introduced him to Steven, a big customer.

Logically speaking, Felwood Cisco would also give Chen Zhao a kickback.

But he didn't dare to give it, because he was afraid that Chen Zhao would think it was insulting him.

After all, he couldn’t afford to give too much.

The offer was less, and Chen Zhao didn't like it.

Therefore, Felwood and Cisco worked overtime on Chen Zhao's project and added materials.

"Children, change your clothes and let's go see how the new home is doing."

Chen Zhao gave the notice, and the children all changed their clothes.

When Portia and Chen Zhao's family arrived, the new home in Mirror Lake had been completely built.

The main projects now are some details inside the building, as well as planting and transplanting the external gardens.

Entering the villa, some rooms in the villa have been completed, while others are still under renovation.

There are far fewer workers on the construction site, unlike the previous construction when there were hundreds of people.

In addition to a major change in appearance, the new home in Mirror Lake also has a building area several times larger than before.

If it were the villa in the past, although the shape was not bad, the building area was too small.

There are only five bedrooms, and the other messy rooms add up to eleven or twelve rooms, including the number of bathrooms.

Later, when I was at Mingyue Villa, I was able to correct it.

Mingyue Villa has more than fifteen bedrooms alone.

Basically you can have a room for each child.

And now the new villa in Mirror Lake has more rooms, reaching thirty rooms.

The main body of the building is U-shaped, half in the lake and half on the land.

And each bedroom faces the woods and the mirror lake with light.

Chen Zhao is very satisfied with this design plan.

At this moment, a car entered the construction site.

"Hi, Chen." Ken got out of the car.

Chen Zhao went up and hugged Ken: "Why are you here?"

"Dad heard that you were coming over here, so he invited you and your children to his home," Ken said.

"Are you sure? I have quite a few children."

"Don't worry, my yard is big enough, although it can't compare with yours." Ken said.

"Okay then." Chen Zhao nodded.

After inspecting the completion site, Chen Zhao took the children to Bant's house.

"Mary." Chen Zhao went up and kissed Mary: "Are you at home today?"

"Dale and Miss Fisher have been away for two days and won't be back until tomorrow. I have been at home these two days," Mary said.

"Kids, come here, this is your Aunt Mary."

"Hello, Aunt Mary." Didira took the lead in greeting Mary.

"What a lovely little girl."

Both Mary and Bant knew that Chen Zhao had adopted eight children.

"Aunt Mary, I've grown up," Didira protested.

"Okay, please forgive me for being rude, you are a beautiful girl." Mary said with a smile: "I did the math... is there one missing?"

Mary's eyes fell on Portia: "It can't be her, right?"

"She is not my adopted child, she is my assistant."

Chen Zhao glanced at Portia, who was also speechless.

How do you look like a child?

"Where's Bant?"

"Went out to buy wine."

"I drove here, so it's not convenient for me to drink."

"It's okay. I won't let Ken drink. I'll let Ken drive you later."

"Mom, you've gone too far."

"You will be moving out soon. Your father and I will pay for the down payment of your new home. Do you think you can disobey my orders now?"

"Mom, Chen is still here, and there are so many children. You should at least save some face for your son."

"If you have Chen's ability, then I won't say anything."

It can be said that Mary and Bant watched Chen Zhao grow up little by little.

From the first time I arrived, to now I am extremely rich.

However, Mary and Bant have always kept a certain distance from Chen Zhao.

A state of being close but not entangled.

Occasionally invite Chen Zhao and his family over to have a meal together.

Not long after, Bant came back and asked Ken to come out and bring the beer.

Chen Zhao also followed out and looked at Bant's appearance.

"Bant, why did you grow a beard? It looks like a big change."

"I can't help it. In the brewery, I didn't look dignified at all, but since I grew a beard, those boys have become much more obedient."

"Whoever is disobedient, I will throw him into the sea and feed it to the sharks."

"Come on, the brewery is yours, but how many times have you been to the brewery? Let me calculate, once when production started, once when interviewing executives, plus once at the last high-level meeting, you went there in total Three times, you are too irresponsible as a boss."

"This also fully demonstrates my trust in the brewery management."

In fact, Bant also knew about the agreement between Chen Zhao and Denver.

He can also be regarded as Chen Zhao's spy in the brewery. He must be Chen Zhao's person.

Even if he said otherwise, no one would believe it.
