Honest Beta gets scammed

Upon hearing this, Li Qing didn't even take the tip and turned to flee the private room.

Watching Li Qing's retreating figure, the private room fell into a deathly silence; no one dared to speak first.

He Xiangchen squinted and stared at the doorway for a long time.

Otherwise, how about we arrest them and beat them up?

The thought flashed through my mind.

After a long while, he finally looked away and saw that everyone in the room was looking at him, and a smile returned to his face.

"What are you standing there for?" he said lazily. "Keep playing."

……

Li Qing ran a long way in one breath.

Only when the private room was completely out of sight did I realize that I had left my tray inside and hadn't retrieved it.

But it's absolutely impossible for him to go back to that place.

He sniffed, feeling his eyes getting hot. Looking at the sticky cream on his hands, he turned and went into the bathroom next door.

He washed the cream off his mouth and hands with water, and his chaotic mind calmed down a little.

With her hair damp, Li Qing looked up at her disheveled reflection in the mirror, her eyes slightly red.

The looks and words of those people in the private room were still replaying in my mind.

Do the receptionists live like this every day?

He pursed his lips, looked in the mirror, and then his gaze fell on his waist.

The shirts there were crumpled and torn, and it felt as if someone had still touched them.

Li Qing straightened the clothes with trembling hands.

Liu Yu is right.

That Alpha is a real pervert!

Li Qing lowered his head and returned to the backstage work station, where Liu Yu was not present.

His distraught appearance immediately caught Xiang Nan's attention. Seeing that something was wrong with his expression, Xiang Nan approached him.

"Hey, Qing-ge, why the long face?"

Li Qing clenched his fist. "...It's nothing."

Xiang Nan raised an eyebrow, looked at Li Qing for a moment, and then smiled, "Where's your tray? Why didn't you bring it back?"

Li Qing looked at Xiang Nan. Having just experienced a great ordeal, his mind was in a highly alert state, and he immediately sensed the malice hidden beneath Xiang Nan's smiling face.

He didn't know why, but he didn't have the energy to think about it anymore. He could only look away and whisper, "I'll take it back when I go to pack up later."

Several waiters who had been slacking off had been watching with their arms crossed since Li Qing arrived, but now, after hearing what Li Qing said, they immediately perked up.

Shengxin has many small rules, such as having to bring the tray back after delivering the food.

Normally, if someone forgets something, they can retrieve it after the guests have left, and no one will say anything.

But now, this group is dedicated to making things difficult for Li Qing.

Although they didn't know why Li Qing was unwilling to go back and get it now, the more he did so, the more they wanted to pressure him.

"After that? What does 'after that' mean? What if a customer complains? Who's responsible then? Go get it back right now!"

"That's right, that's the rule. Is this your first day at work?"

"Go and come back quickly, it won't take more than a few minutes."

Seeing the harshness in everyone's faces, Li Qing realized that it wasn't just Xiang Nan who harbored ill will towards him; the others were the same.

Li Qing opened his mouth as if to say something, but couldn't bring himself to say that he had been taken advantage of, nor could he find an excuse not to take it.

"What are you all doing! Why is it so noisy?!"

A reprimanding voice came from not far away, and Zhang Chen walked over with a frown.

As soon as they saw him arrive, everyone fell silent and dispersed, pretending to be busy.

Li Qing watched as Zhang Chen approached and came to the worktable.

Before Zhang Chen could even ask "What happened?", Li Qing suddenly spoke up.

"Brother Zhang, I want to resign."

These words stunned not only Zhang Chen, but also Xiang Nan and the others standing nearby.

Zhang Chen's expression froze. He looked at Li Qing, as if he hadn't heard clearly, and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, I want to resign, Brother Zhang," Li Qing repeated.

He had figured it out by the time he walked all the way from the restroom to here.

He initially came to work at Shengxin because he was blinded by the high salaries offered there.

He was being too naive, thinking that as long as he kept to himself and avoided getting involved in those messy things, those things wouldn't bother him.

But as it turned out, he was wrong.

A base salary of 10,000 yuan a month is far beyond what an ordinary waiter should earn.

This is less of a wage and more of a risk compensation.

Here, if a guest takes a liking to a waiter, the waiter can become a "backup" for the receptionist at any time. This is an unspoken rule in the club.

He hadn't paid attention before because he thought such things wouldn't happen to him.

Now it was his turn, and he found that he really couldn't stand it.

He made up his mind; he would transfer back the 200,000 he owed the Alpha, along with all the tips the Alpha had given him, in a little while.

Then he would leave and find a proper job. Even if the salary wasn't high, maybe three or four thousand a month, he could save it little by little. That's how he used to get by.

As for his sister's betrothal gifts, he will discuss it with his parents to see if he can get some from home first, and then he will pay them back slowly later.

While Li Qing was already planning for the future, Zhang Chen's mind went blank, and he felt like the sky was about to fall.

"No!"

This time, Zhang Chen's answer was surprisingly quick and decisive.

Are you kidding me?

What will he do if Li Qing runs away?

If it were any other waiter, and they really didn't want to work, he would talk to them, and if he couldn't persuade them, he would just let them go.

But Li Qing is different!

This is the person He Xiangchen has taken a liking to.

The entire Shengxin Club belongs to the He family. If He Xiangchen asks him for someone and he says, "Oh, I let the person escape," does he still want to work there?

At that point, he'll probably have to beg and plead to find the person!

Li Qing originally thought that resigning as a waitress who hadn't even finished her probationary period would be a very simple matter, something that could be resolved with just a few words.

Zhang Chen's lightning-fast rejection stunned him, and he began to feel anxious.

Why?

Zhang Chen cleared his throat and glanced around.
