Honest Beta gets scammed

Seeing He Xiangchen's increasingly sour expression, Li Qing dared not delay any longer. She quickly stood up, wiped her dirty hands on her clothes, and then pointed to the lounge next door, whispering, "My phone is in the lounge."

Seeing that He Xiangchen didn't say anything, he turned around and ran into the lounge, took out his phone, unlocked it, and hurriedly opened the messaging app to scan the QR code.

With a "beep", a contact addition interface popped up on the screen.

He Xiangchen then put away his phone and said coldly, "Transfer the money for the suit to this account."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Li Qing was still somewhat dazed as he stared at the unfamiliar new contact on his phone screen. Only after He Xiangchen had walked quite a distance did he suddenly remember the most important question and shout at the retreating figure:

"Um, how much is the suit?!"

Perhaps his voice was too soft, because He Xiangchen's figure disappeared completely at the end of the corridor without giving him any response.

Silence reigned all around.

Zhang Chen glanced at Li Qing, who looked bewildered, then at the direction He Xiangchen had left in, and walked over to pat Li Qing on the shoulder.

"Actually, our General Manager He is a very kind person and easy to get along with."

Li Qing turned her head and looked at Zhang Chen with suspicion in her eyes.

really?

Why does this Alpha always have a sour face and look so fierce whenever he sees him?

Zhang Chen chuckled awkwardly and looked away.

He turned around and saw the waiters still cleaning up the bottles and jars on the ground, and he immediately became furious.

"Those of you who were fighting, come out here!"

The waiters who were fighting froze, hesitantly stopping what they were doing.

Li Qing was still a little dazed, but when he suddenly heard Zhang Chen's shout, he immediately snapped to attention, throwing all his chaotic thoughts to the back of his mind.

His expression changed as he watched Liu Yu and the other Betas step forward. He then slowly moved to the edge of the line.

Zhang Chen looked at the row of "fighting participants" standing in front of him, and was just about to start cursing and ask them if they wanted to cause trouble!

As a result, a quick glance revealed a tall figure in the corner.

Li Qing shrank back, and after making eye contact with Zhang Chen, immediately lowered her head.

Zhang Chen: ……

What business is it of yours?!

Li Qing rested on Sunday.

After returning home from Shengxin, Li Qing slept for five hours before the alarm clock rang on time. She rolled around in bed for a while before finally getting up, still half asleep.

He rubbed his eyes, reached for his phone and turned off the ringer. Just as he sat up, he suddenly remembered something, reached out and opened the messaging app, and found a contact.

The message he sent yesterday when he got home is still quietly lying on the chat interface.

Hello Mr. He, how much compensation do you need for your suit?

The message was sent late last night, and he hasn't received any reply from the other party since.

Li Qing sighed, feeling a heavy weight in his heart, as if a stone was pressing down on it.

He went to wash up, and the cold water splashed on his face made him feel much more awake.

Back in his room, he took out the white suit he had brought back from the club the day before.

His suit was laid flat on the bed, and the large, dried wine stain on his chest was dark and particularly glaring!

Li Qing stared at the stain, hesitated for a long time, but still refused to believe it.

What do you mean by "can't be washed anymore"?

There's no reason why dirty clothes can't be washed.

So, Li Qing took the suit and went into the bathroom.

He squeezed two pumps of laundry detergent into the basin, added warm water, gently rubbed it to create foam, and then immersed the stained parts of the suit in the water, carefully scrubbing them with his hands.

After about ten minutes, he picked up the clothes and his eyes lit up instantly.

The wine stains... seem to be really gone!

Li Qing was overjoyed. He spread out the suit and looked at it from left to right. Apart from being heavier because it was wet, it felt no different from before. He immediately felt like a genius for saving a lot of money!

He then happily hung the suit up on a hanger and put it out to dry on the small balcony.

After doing all this, he glanced at the time and figured it was about time. He casually threw on a short-sleeved shirt, grabbed his keys, and went out.

He had arranged to have lunch with his sister today, so he could pick her up from get off work while he was at it.

-

"Snap! Snap!"

The flashbulbs kept going off.

"Alright, that's a wrap!"

As soon as the director gave the order, everyone in the studio relaxed, and Li Hao let out a long breath.

After thanking the staff around her, she quickly went to the dressing room to remove her makeup and change her clothes.

After saying goodbye to her companion, she packed her things and took the elevator downstairs.

Standing at the entrance of the building, Li Hao looked around and soon saw a person riding an electric scooter across the street waving vigorously at her.

A smile immediately bloomed on her face, and she jogged across the pedestrian crossing.

"elder brother!"

"Hey, don't move, there are too many cars, I'll go over."

As Li Qing spoke, he turned the handlebars, looked around, and took advantage of a gap in the traffic to ride his electric scooter over in a flash, stopping steadily in front of Li Hao.

"Wow, you even got a car!"

Li looked at his half-old electric scooter and joked with a smile.

Li Qing chuckled, a hint of pride on his face: "It's inconvenient to commute to work, so I bought one at the secondhand market. Even though it's secondhand, it's incredibly fast!"

As he spoke, he looked at his younger sister with eyes full of affection.

Unlike him, Li seems to have inherited all the good qualities of the Li family.

She is 1.76 meters tall, with a slim waist, long legs, a pretty face, and a sharp mind.

Look, now we can work in such tall and impressive buildings!

Li Hao had no idea what Li Qing was thinking. She nimbly stepped onto the back seat and pointed in a direction: "Brother, turn that way. I ordered milk tea over there."

Following his sister's instructions, Li Qing skillfully made a turn, grabbed his milk tea, and the two siblings entered a hot pot restaurant.

As a freelance model, Li Hao has strict control over her diet, but she reserves one day each month for indulgence.

In the past, he would either eat with friends or his girlfriend on this day. But now that Li Qing had come to the capital, she naturally wanted to give the opportunity to her brother.

After ordering, while waiting for the hot pot broth to arrive, Li Hao took a sip of milk tea, looked at Li Qing, and asked, "Brother, are you still working on the construction site lately?"

Li Qing paused in her act of picking up food.

He hasn't told Li Hao about his job at Shengxin yet.

At first, I didn't understand what kind of place it was, but later I gradually realized that the place was indeed not very proper. I was afraid of causing Li Hao to misunderstand and worry, so I never said anything.

He shook his head vaguely at that moment.

Seeing this, Li Hao didn't notice anything amiss and became happy.

"It's good that you quit. That job was too tiring. I was wondering how to persuade you to quit, but now I don't have to worry about that." She asked casually, "But why didn't you tell me you were changing jobs? I didn't even know."

Li Qingqian chuckled, "...It's not a great job, I'll just do whatever."

"Hey, with the current job market, it's already pretty good to find a job in Beijing." Li Hao waved his hand dismissively.

Li Qing smiled and nodded, afraid that Li Hao would press him further about where he worked, so he quickly changed the subject: "Hey, where's your...girlfriend? Why didn't she come with you this time?"

When his girlfriend was mentioned, Li Hao's eyebrows instantly curved into a smile, and his eyes filled with sweetness!

"She's at work today, so she didn't come."

Li Qing said "Oh," tightened her grip on the chopsticks, and still felt a little uneasy.

He put down his chopsticks and hesitated before speaking, "Girl, I don't mean to be nosy, but your girlfriend's family is so rich, how did you two get together?"

Li Hao said, "Ah, it was during one of my previous jobs. She seemed to be the project manager at the time. She came to talk to me, and we started chatting. That's how things turned out."

"She brought it up with you on her own initiative?"

"Yes."

"..."

Li Qing was a little worried, afraid that his younger sister's feelings would be played with. He looked at his sister for a moment, unsure whether he should say something.

Li Hao, being the kind of person he was, could tell what Li Qing was thinking just by looking at his expression, and immediately looked helpless.

"What are you thinking, brother? She's very good to me, and we're serious."

"……oh oh."

Li Hao: "..."

Seeing how worried Li Qing was, Li Hao thought for a moment and decided to talk to him more to put his mind at ease.

"Brother, I know you're worried about me, but she's different from other girls."

Li Hao leaned closer and lowered his voice, "You know, she... she had a marriage, but actually, her last marriage was very unhappy."

At this point, a hint of resentment and disgust appeared on Li Hao's fair face, and he gritted his teeth and said!

"Her ex-husband was a scumbag who spent his days out partying and having affairs!"
