Honest Beta gets scammed

The thought of meeting He Xiangchen made Li Qing feel uneasy again.

But after hesitating for a few seconds, he still sent the film crew's address.

It's not even close to being done yet.

If it really was just a misunderstanding on his own, did he really intend to never see He Xiangchen again? He didn't have many friends in the capital, and He Xiangchen was at least one of them.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Country E.

He Xiangchen was surrounded by a group of fully armed bodyguards in black.

He leaned back in the large leather chair, staring at the address Li Qing had sent him on his phone screen, his eyes flickering, and took a drag of his cigarette.

He exhaled grayish-white smoke, blurring his expression.

After a few seconds of silence, he turned off his phone and put it back in his pocket.

He didn't go to see Li Qing during this period, partly because he really needed to calm down.

After all, it would be difficult for him to accept that Li Qing had no feelings for him at all and only treated him as a brother, given how hard he had tried to seduce her.

On the other hand, he has indeed been very busy lately.

The situation in Country E has been tense lately. Several local forces are fighting fiercely over some issues, and the fighting is almost reaching the He family's branch office in Country E. He has to come here personally to deal with it.

Although the He family has long since retired from the limelight and publicly cleaned themselves up, their legend still lingers in the martial arts world even though they are no longer active in it.

Occasionally, the Ho family is needed to step in and act as a peacemaker.

Or rather, let's establish some rules.

He Xiangchen stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, raised his eyes, and looked ahead.

On both sides of the long table sat more than a dozen people, both men and women, including Omega, Alpha, Beta, and He Xiangchen, an Enimga. It really had everything.

He glanced at the group of people and gave a casual smile.

"Let's begin."

……

One night passed.

Li Qing arrived at the film set early in the morning in her nanny van.

He had already come to have his makeup and costume done, and as a minor supporting character with few scenes, he still managed to get two sets of clothes.

One set was his usual shadow guard assassin outfit, all black, and the other was the ordinary clothes the female lead prepared for him after he was rescued and taken home.

In contrast, the male and female leads have many more tricks up their sleeves.

Especially the male lead Qu Qingzhe, because this is a male-centric drama, Qu Qingzhe's private dressing room has a whole hanger of costumes, from plain robes to gorgeous armor, everything is available!

Li Qing ignored everyone else, changed her clothes and did her makeup, and was extremely nervous when filming started.

But after filming two scenes, he relaxed.

He realized there was no need to be nervous.

As a taciturn shadow guard, most of the time he only needs to stand to the side, put on an indifferent face, and then dryly recite those few lines.

There's no need for complicated movements or to portray any deep emotions. The only skill required might be acting out a repressed crush when acting opposite the female lead.

But in reality, there weren't many games.

In male-centric dramas, the female lead doesn't have many scenes with the male lead, let alone with a minor supporting character like him.

After a while, Li Qing not only felt no pressure, but also found it quite refreshing.

It's a bit scary when you're suspended by wires, being swayed back and forth in mid-air, and it hurts your inner thighs. When the wind blows, it feels chilly down there, but you can bear it and it will pass.

After ten days of this, two-thirds of his scenes had already been filmed.

"Cut! That's a good take! Everyone take a break!" the director shouted through a megaphone.

Li Qing stretched lazily, his bones cracking all over.

His filming for the day was finished, and he was preparing to pack up his things and go straight back to the hotel to rest.

Walking into the dressing room shared by the regular actors, I pushed open the door and found it empty, with the air conditioning blasting.

Li Qing walked to the innermost side and began to take off his bodyguard uniform. He was wearing pants under his costume, so he just took off his jacket and put on a T-shirt.

Just as he pulled the T-shirt over his head, the door to the dressing room was pushed open with a "bang".

Two people walked in, their footsteps heavy.

Li Qing didn't say anything, poked his head out of his collar, and prepared to put on his shoes and leave.

In front of where he was changing clothes, there was a row of tall, movable clothes racks, full of costumes, which completely blocked his view. As a result, people who came in did not see him and assumed that no one was there, so they spoke without any restraint.

As they talked, the topic eventually turned to Qu Qingzhe.

"Damn it, stop pretending to be so high and mighty!"

Li Qing paused in putting on her shoes.

He recognized the voice; it was the young actor who had been given the cold shoulder by Qu Qingzhe during the script reading.

Another voice followed immediately, and Li Qing recognized it as another actor who was very close to the young actor.

"Exactly, he acts like everyone knows he's being kept by Fang Yuehan. What's with all this pretense of professionalism? He's putting on airs on set. If he's so great, why is he sleeping in Fang Yuehan's bed?"

Li Qing was stunned on the spot.

It took my brain a while to process what the two people meant.

Does Qu Qingzhe have a sugar daddy?

Li Qing stood behind the clothes rack, speechless and stunned.

But the two of them hadn't stopped.

The dressing rooms for big stars and ordinary actors are not in the same place. The dressing room used by ordinary actors is some distance away from the filming location. At this time, except for minor roles like Li Qing with few scenes, basically no one will come here.

Even if someone comes, as long as it's not Qu Qingzhe himself, they aren't actually afraid.

Their skills are enough to get them into a big production like "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," which is obviously due to their connections. Many people on set knew this all too well. They dared to complain in front of so many senior actors and use stunt doubles, so they must have the confidence to do so.

They weren't afraid of any senior directors, only of Qu Qingzhe; Fang Yuehan's influence was indeed different.

Having held their breath, and now that they were in a safe place, the two naturally started arguing even more fiercely.

"Does he really think he's such a great actor?"

The young actor sneered and pulled out a chair to sit down.

"Actually, I think he's just average. Although the news only just came out, he and Fang Yuehan might have been involved for a long time. Those Best Actor awards he won were definitely bought with money and underhanded tactics by Fang Yuehan! Without Fang Yuehan, what is he?"

"Of course! And he wants us to straighten out our attitude? His best attitude is to serve his sugar daddy well. In that scene just now, I only messed up my lines a few times, and he dared to give me the cold shoulder in front of everyone! The director didn't say anything, so who gave him the right to lecture me?"

Li Qing frowned behind the clothes rack.

He saw it very clearly these past few days on set.

These two actors had more screen time than him, and they mostly acted opposite Qu Qingzhe. As a result, they not only forgot their lines many times, but they also had to use stunt doubles for even the simplest fight scenes.

Qu Qingzhe had probably been holding back for a few days, but today he couldn't hold it in any longer and said a few words to the two of them. The two of them didn't dare to utter a word on set, but now that they're hiding in the dressing room, they've started to spew out a torrent of words.
