Honest Beta gets scammed

The construction site dormitory consists of six-person rooms with bunk beds, and the environment is cramped.

Li Qing pushed open the iron gate, and a mixture of sweaty feet odor and cheap tobacco smell wafted out. His roommates were already fast asleep, snoring loudly.

He quietly took a basin to the washroom and took a quick cold shower to wash away the dust. When he came out, no one in the dormitory was awake.

Li Qing had to get up early to work tomorrow, so she didn't have time to dawdle. She climbed into her bed, pulled a thin blanket over her stomach, and fell into a deep sleep within two minutes, accompanied by snoring.

The next day, at the construction site.

During his lunch break, Li Qing was squatting in the shade eating his boxed lunch when his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

He took out his phone, and upon seeing the caller ID, his eyes immediately curved into crescents. He quickly swallowed the food in his mouth and swiped to answer the call.

"What's wrong, Ni'er?"

"Brother, where did you put my black power bank when you were tidying up the cabinet? I can't find it."

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone; it was Li Qing's younger sister, Li Hao, and she sounded a little anxious.

"It's in the second drawer by your bedside, under that notebook. Take a look," Li Qing replied.

After a few moments of searching, Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief: "Found it! Thanks, bro. Have you had lunch yet?"

"I'm eating. The food on the construction site is good; there's meat." Li Qing said happily.

"You're still working on construction sites? That's exhausting. Are your legs up to it? You should find another job."

"Oh, I'm fine. My leg is all better now. Take good care of yourself out there. If you need money, just let me know."

"Okay, I have to hang up now. Don't force yourself if you can't do it."

"understood."

After hanging up the phone, Li Qing stared at the screen with a smile still on his face.

The middle-aged man squatting next to him leaned over and nudged him with his elbow: "Young man, why are you laughing like that? Are you on the phone with your girlfriend?"

"No, it's my sister." Li Qing put his phone back in his pocket, his tone filled with pride.

Only a handful of people from their village went to college, and Li Hao was one of them. In Li Qing's heart, his younger sister was a golden phoenix—educated, beautiful, and better than anyone else.

Actually, Li Qing's initial purpose in coming to the capital was to visit his younger sister.

Last month, Li Hao suddenly messaged him, saying that he had started dating an Omega and wanted to marry him, and asked Li Qing to come and take a look.

Li Qing was working in the fields back home when he saw the news and almost dug his own foot with a hoe.

Omega!

There isn't a single Omega in their entire village!

My own sister has quietly found an Omega as her boyfriend!

Li Qing was both surprised and delighted, thinking that his younger sister was really capable, taking the train overnight and arriving in the capital in no time.

As a result, trouble ensued upon seeing him.

Upon their first meeting, Li Qing didn't dare to look away. The Omega was truly beautiful, fair-skinned, and exuded an air of nobility. He also had a pleasant scent. Li Qing couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder he's an Omega, he's just different."

But as they chatted, Li Qing learned that the other person was a divorcee.

He was immediately displeased. His sister was a perfectly healthy young woman, a college graduate. Why should she marry a divorced man? He felt that his sister could find someone much better.

Shortly afterward, Omega took him and Li Hao to an extremely luxurious restaurant for a welcome dinner.

The restaurant was magnificent, and the carpet was so soft you could sink your ankles into it. When the menu arrived, Li Qing glanced at it and his hand trembled.

A dish called "White Jade Soup" costs several thousand!

A dish of meat that you can't even tell what kind of meat it is costs tens of thousands!

Li Qing had never seen such expensive food in his life. He felt like he was sitting on pins and needles in his chair and didn't even dare to touch his chopsticks.

The Omega didn't even blink, and said with a smile, "This restaurant is cheap, but the food is decent. Help yourself, bro."

Cheap.

Li Qing's head was buzzing.

Consumer values ​​have been shattered.

He watched as Li Hao tenderly served food to the Omega, completely captivated by him, having long forgotten all about first and second marriages.

His mind was filled with only one thought: How much dowry would it cost? What conditions would it take to marry an Omega like this?

In recent years, Li Qing has been deliberately saving money.

He had planned it out long ago. Regardless of Li Hao's orientation, whether she married him or not, he intended to split the money in half, keeping half and giving the other half to his sister as a dowry or bride price.

This time, I also came to the capital with 100,000 yuan in my pocket.

Now, that 100,000 yuan might just be the cost of one meal for that person.

This made Li Qing feel inferior.

Privately, he talked to Li Hao, thinking that the two families were not a good match, so maybe they should just break up.

Li Hao refused a hundred times.

She kept saying that she liked him, that she didn't have money now, but she would work hard to give him a good life in the future, and that his family was rich and didn't care about things like dowry.

Li Qing felt that her younger sister was oversimplifying things.

If they don't care, that's their business, but the Li family can't pretend to be oblivious!

Given these conditions, if Li Hao were to marry this person, it would definitely be considered a marriage of convenience for her.

Li Qing was afraid that Li Hao would be unable to hold his head high with his Omega parents in the future, and would suffer grievances and have to be subservient to them.

then.

Driven by a desire to save face for his younger sister, Li Qing didn't return to his hometown but gritted his teeth and stayed in the capital.

He needs to make money; he needs to make as much as he can.

The saying that big cities offer more opportunities is certainly true. Li Qing quickly found a high-paying job carrying bricks at the construction site.

Short-term casual work, meals and accommodation provided, 350 yuan per day, paid daily.

This salary level would be unimaginable in their small hometown.

Although he did physically demanding jobs, Li Qing had no shortage of strength. Every evening, when he received those few bright red banknotes from the foreman, he felt incredibly fulfilled.

"Hey, young man, what are you daydreaming about?" The uncle's voice pulled Li Qing back to reality.

Holding an empty lunchbox, the uncle pointed to Li Qing's feet: "Is that card yours? It fell on the ground."

Li Qing looked down.

"Yes, that's right."

It was the black card he found at the noodle shop last night. He probably accidentally pulled it out when he took out his phone just now, and he had forgotten about it.

Li Qing squatted down and picked up the card.

The afternoon sunlight shone on the card, making the gilded crown emblem shimmer with tiny lights, looking even more luxurious than it had under the noodle shop lights the night before.

Li Qing rubbed the surface of the card with his thumb, staring at the four exquisitely designed artistic characters on it, a sense of curiosity rising in his heart.

"Uncle, do you know what Shengxin Club is?" he asked the older man, turning to him.

The middle-aged man leaned over for a look, then said blankly, "I don't know, I've never heard of it. Judging from the name, it must be a KTV or something, right?"

Li Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

After thinking for a moment, he put the lunchbox aside, took out his phone again, opened the browser, and typed "Shengxin Club" into the search box.
