Honest Beta gets scammed

Li Qing, who had just posted on his WeChat Moments, was unaware that somewhere in the city, someone was harshly criticizing him for being spineless.

He lay in bed, silently staring at his phone screen, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Because Xu Shuang was present, he was unable to find an opportunity to explain the Shengxin Club matter in detail to Li Hao at the amusement park today.

And probably for the same reason, Li Hao didn't question him about why he was working in such a place all day, and acted as usual throughout.

Li Qing remained on the chat interface with Li Hao. In the pitch-black room, the light from the phone screen clearly illuminated the conflicted look on his face. He didn't want his sister to worry, but he also didn't want her to misunderstand.

After a long while, Li Qing finally made up his mind and started tapping on the screen.

Don't worry about me. I'm just a regular waiter at Shengxin; I don't do anything else.

[Furthermore, I've already submitted my resignation to my supervisor; I'll quit after one more month.]

Two messages were sent, but there was no response from the other side for a long time.

Li Qing glanced at the time in the upper right corner of the screen; it was already past 10 p.m., and Li Hao was probably already asleep.

He lowered his eyes, sighed, then turned off the screen, closed his eyes, and forced himself to fall asleep.

Meanwhile, Li Hao curled up on the sofa in her apartment, looking at the message her brother had sent on her phone screen, her face full of displeasure.

She was still awake. The fact that Li Qing worked at Shengxin Club was weighing on her mind, making her restless and unable to sleep.

She was still figuring out how to bring it up in a way that wouldn't hurt her brother's pride, but would also get him to resign quickly.

Now that Li Qing has taken the initiative to tell her the truth and that he has already resigned, she feels a little more at ease. But when she sees "work for another month," that feeling of irritability comes back.

A month? You'd feel like you're spending too much time in a place like that!

Just then, the bathroom door clicked open, and Xu Shuang, wrapped in a bath towel, walked out while drying her wet long hair with a towel.

As the steam rose, she immediately saw Li Hao huddled on the sofa, staring at his phone with a worried expression.

Xu Shuang walked over slowly and stood beside the sofa.

Li Hao felt the light beside him being blocked and looked up.

The next second, before she could even see the other person clearly, a slender, white hand reached out and gently pressed two fingers between her slightly furrowed brows, smoothing out the wrinkles.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so unhappy?"

The sweet scent of lychee mixed with the smell of shampoo wafted over, and Li Hao felt her cheeks instantly heat up. She jumped up from the sofa, raised her hand to rub her forehead where she had just been touched, and looked away, saying, "What are you doing?"

Looking at Li Hao's innocent appearance, Xu Shuang's smile deepened.

Li Hao cleared her throat, not wanting to talk more about her brother, and said to Xu Shuang, "Ahem, it's just a small matter concerning my brother. Your hair is still wet, sit down quickly, I'll dry it for you."

Without waiting for Xu Shuang's reply, she took Xu Shuang's hand, pressed her down on the sofa, and then turned around to find a hair dryer with her ears turning red.

Xu Shuang raised an eyebrow, her eyes crinkling as she looked at Li Hao's clearly shy back.

She glanced sideways, her gaze falling on the phone Li Hao had left on the sofa. The screen was dimly lit before it automatically locked, but it went completely dark within two seconds of her looking at it.

But even in that brief glance, Xu Shuang still caught some familiar words on the screen.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she gently raised her eyebrows.

……

The next day, Li Qing went to work as usual.

After changing into his uniform and leaving the staff break room, he began to take over the work from the previous shift's colleague.

But he wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Xiang Nan was glancing at him in a subtle way all day.

It made him feel very uncomfortable.

While washing the dishes at the sink, he finally couldn't resist sneaking a glance towards the south.

Xiang Nan was carrying a tray, seemingly preparing to deliver food to a customer, but after taking only two steps, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, he suddenly turned his head and looked straight at Li Qing.

Their eyes met.

Caught red-handed peeping, Li Qing was immediately embarrassed.

Xiang Nan's face remained expressionless. He glanced at Li Qing and then turned his head away, but Li Qing still noticed that his chest heaved rapidly, as if he had silently "hummed" to himself.

Li Qing was baffled.

He nudged Liu Yu, who was tidying up the cabinet behind him, and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think Xiang Nan is acting strange today? He seems to be staring at me the whole time."

Liu Yu didn't even turn her head, her hands still moving, and said dismissively, "Ignore him, he's been sick for a long time."

Li Qing said "Oh," and took one last look in the direction Xiang Nan left.

Although the evening rush hour was late, it was finally here. The computer on the workbench kept beeping, and Li Qing was so busy that she didn't have time to think about anything else.

His legs practically kicked up sparks as he sprinted back and forth between the floors.

He had just returned from a delivery when he saw his colleague, who was responsible for keeping watch at the work station, already overwhelmed with work, so he quickly went over to help.

While looking at the new order on the computer screen and placing the prepared meals onto the tray, she picked up the microphone next to her and began to announce the order for the receptionist.

"Receptionist for room 334 in area A, female Alpha, long straight black hair, not short hair."

"The receptionist in room 974, Block B, needs a male Omega, uh... please wear a skirt."

"Two receptionists needed for room 221 in Block B, one male and one female Beta, both of whom must be able to drink..."

Li Qing squinted at the constantly refreshing information on the screen. Before his brain could even comprehend it, his mouth had already automatically read out the requirements, leaving him with a head full of question marks and a dry mouth.

Just as he was about to continue, a crown icon, accompanied by a special notification sound, suddenly appeared at the top of the screen.

Li Qing's words came to an abrupt end.

He scratched his head, still carrying the prepared drinks and food, and left despite the tearful looks from his colleagues, leaving them alone to face the incessantly spraying ticket machine.

We arrived at the door of the private room.

Li Qing took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

The door opened quickly from the inside, and he went in. The private room was bustling with activity.

Mr. He was still sitting in his usual spot. When he looked up and saw him, he glanced at him with his usual cold eyes, but quickly looked away and continued to chat and laugh with the people around him.

Li Qing didn't care; he was hoping the other person would ignore him.

"Excuse me, everyone, here are your drinks and fruit platters."

As he spoke, he quickly walked to the coffee table, put the things down one by one, and then prepared to turn around and leave.

But just as he was about to reach the door, a voice rang out.

Amidst the cacophony of music and laughter, the voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for Li Qing to hear.

Li Qing looked up at the sound and saw a boy sitting on a sofa in the corner calling him.

The boy looked like a Beta; he had a refined appearance and was smiling at him in a very friendly manner.

"Hello, there are a few broken cups here, could you please help me clean them up?"
