Honest Beta gets scammed

Upon inspection, a reply was indeed received.

The brother and sister chatted about Qu Qingzhe for a while, starting with his previous works. As they talked, the car arrived at the apartment building where Li Qing lived.

"Sister Li, I'm going back now!"

Li Qing greeted Guan Li and then got out of the car.

"Okay, go ahead."

Guan Li waved her hand.

He then lowered his head to instruct the driver to proceed to the next destination. After lowering his head, he seemed to sense something, raised his head, and looked towards the building not far away.

Near the entrance of the apartment building, several men wearing hats were standing suspiciously. They looked completely unfamiliar. After Li Qing swiped his card to enter, the men immediately followed suit and swiped their cards to go inside as well.

Guan Li narrowed her eyes.

Her experience of battling obsessive fans for over a decade made her instincts run into something.

She immediately raised her hand and said to the driver, "Don't go yet."

Immediately, he picked up his phone and quickly dialed the number of the company's security team responsible for the artists' apartments.

"There are some strange people downstairs in the dormitory building. Go over there immediately to see what's going on, and chase them away. Also, update the elevator card system for all residents right away, issue new access cards, and invalidate all the previous ones; they will no longer be allowed to pass through."

After receiving a positive reply, Guan Li put down her phone and looked toward the entrance of the apartment building.

At this moment, Li Qing was still excited about talking about Qu Qingzhe with her sister Li Hao, and she was still beaming as she took the elevator upstairs.

He arrived at the exact floor, reached his door, entered the password, and went inside.

The moment he closed the door, the building's elevator opened with a "ding".

Several figures quickly walked out from inside.

They looked around and then precisely located Li Qing's room on this floor.

The leader was just about to do something wrong with the combination lock when he suddenly stopped.

The group of people looked around in a somewhat panicked manner.

A group of men dressed in Twilight Nebula security uniforms emerged from the emergency exit doors on both sides of the corridor. They were all burly and had unfriendly expressions. They immediately surrounded the people who were blocking Li Qing's door.

The security captain stepped forward.

"Are you guys really that stubborn?"

A short while later, Guan Li was sitting in the car when she saw the security team grab those people like chickens and drag them out of the building, kicking them to the side of the road without any politeness.

The phone rang.

Guan Li answered the call; it was the security captain calling.

"Sister Guan, it's a sasaeng fan. She said she bought Li Qing's address online and wants to come up to pick up some personal items."

Guan Li frowned: "Update the access control system as soon as possible."

"Okay, it's already being done."

Guan Li hung up the phone, looked in the direction of the apartment building, and frowned.

Sasaeng fans?

Li Qing isn't some rising star. Since signing with the company, he's only done one magazine shoot and hasn't even done any serious film or television work. He has zero buzz, so where did these obsessive fans come from?

Buying addresses online? Who would be so bored as to sell a new person's address?

She sensed that something was amiss.

But I have a ton of work to do and no time to think about it here.

She opened her messaging app, quickly reported the matter to her superiors, and after sending the message, she said to the driver in front, "Okay, let's go."

……

There's one day left before I join the cast of "The Legend of the Dragon".

Li Qing felt nervous thinking about her upcoming scene with Qu Qingzhe.

On the last day, he didn't rest. He went to the company to take an acting class. Although one class couldn't make his acting skills immediately become superb, even last-minute cramming can make a difference.

He didn't want to perform poorly on his first day of filming and get lectured by Qu Qingzhe on the spot.

Upon arriving at the classroom, Li Qing, as usual, went to the corner of the last row and sat down. Then, she took out her script, preparing to go over her lines again before the teacher arrived.

However, today's situation is a bit unusual.

Before, when he sat here, there were empty seats all around him, and no one paid any attention to him. But today, not long after he sat down, two people inexplicably surrounded him.

These two people, one an Omega and the other a Beta, looked familiar to Li Qing. He had seen them in class before, but they didn't come to class very often, and he had never spoken to them when they met before. He didn't even know their names.

Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.

The two men's unusual behavior immediately made Li Qing suspicious. He put down his script and watched them warily.

Sure enough, as soon as the Omega settled down, he eagerly came over, a smile plastered on his face, and began to speak.

"Hey, I heard you're going to act in 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes'?"

"The Dragon's Roar" is the drama that Li Qing is about to join the cast of.

Li Qing didn't know where these two had heard the news from, but he still nodded obediently.

"Um."

Seeing how readily he admitted it, the two of them stared wide-eyed, looking shocked.

They exchanged a glance, and the Omega pressed, "How did you do that?"

"What? How did you do that?"

"It's about getting the role! It's Qu Qingzhe's drama! So many people are scrambling to audition, but they all get rejected."

This series is a big-budget production by Twilight Nebula. Although some of the main roles were given to some veteran actors, the resources for the minor roles were still prioritized for their own artists.

Even so, the competition was extremely fierce, and several people with wealthy backers who funded their way in failed to secure a spot.

When they first heard the news that Li Qing had joined the production team, they didn't believe it at all.

However, this news came from one of Guan Li's artists. It wasn't hard to find out that Li Qing's agent was Guan Li. Combining the two, it immediately became convincing.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Li Qing come to class today, he immediately ran over to sound him out.

Li Qing was completely confused.

What interview? What role-grabbing?

Wasn't this script already finalized by the company and then delivered directly to him? He didn't even know which way the audition door faced.

Just as I was wondering what was going on, I suddenly felt a piercing gaze coming from my side and front.

Li Qing looked up.

Diagonally in front of him, Zhuo Ye was staring coldly at him.

Seeing Li Qing looking over, Zhuo Ye's lips twitched slightly, and he slowly turned his head to the side, showing Li Qing the back of his head.

A thought flashed through Li Qing's mind, and he vaguely realized something.

It seems that getting a role in "The Legend of the Dragon" is a pretty awesome thing!

Having figured this out, he glanced at the Omega and Beta beside him.

The Beta had witnessed the entire eye contact between Li Qing and Zhuo Ye. When Li Qing turned his head, he immediately lowered his voice and chuckled, "Zhuo Ye also went for an interview before, but he was eliminated in the first round."

Li Qing suddenly realized.

Thanks to Zhuo Ye's gossipy nature, almost everyone in the classroom knew about their little affair.
