Honest Beta gets scammed

Oh no, I've run into a madman.

As Li Qing listened to the other party's series of exaggerated and even fantastical boasts, the anger on his face slowly dissipated, replaced by an expression of looking at someone who was crazy.

Without saying a word, he silently turned the front of his electric scooter slightly to the side, preparing to walk around it from the side.

As it turned out, the madman reacted extremely quickly. Seeing that he was about to leave, he pounced on him like a hungry tiger, throwing himself onto the hood of his car and blocking Li Qing's path with his body.

This almost sent Li Qing to his death.

He struggled to keep the car steady, preventing himself and the madman from falling to the ground together.

Li Qing turned her head and frowned as she looked at the man leaning over the hood of her car.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

Li Qing's tone was not good. Although his voice was not loud, anyone could tell that he was angry.

Hearing this tone, most normal people would wisely step aside.

But the person who stopped Li Qing was clearly no ordinary person.

Upon hearing Li Qing speak, it was as if a switch had been flipped, and he became even more excited. He suddenly sprang up from the front of the car, spread his arms, and shouted at the sky!

"Oh God! What a beautiful voice! I've never seen such a genius before! If it were you, you would definitely shine in the music industry or the entertainment industry! You are destined to rule the Federation's entertainment industry!"

He shouted very loudly, his voice booming and penetrating, as if he had really encountered something earth-shattering, something that would be recorded in history.

This flamboyant performance successfully drew the attention of the men and women who were about to enter the Shengxin Club, causing them to stop and look over with curiosity.

They also seemed eager to see for themselves who this "man destined to shine and dominate the entertainment industry" really was.

Under the intense gaze of many, Li Qing's head was practically buried in his crotch.

He really ran into a madman today!

Li Qing's face turned bright red. He shrank back, lowered his voice, and his words were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"Get out of my way, I want to go home, don't block my way."

However, the other party seemed not to hear him at all, and remained standing in front of his car, unmoved.

He reached into the breast pocket of his floral shirt and pulled out a beautifully crafted business card, handing it to Li Qing.

"Oh, honey! Don't be shy at all! I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart! You're absolutely charismatic. I'm a talent scout from Twilight Nebula, you can call me Jenny! Please, you absolutely must sign with our company!"

Li Qing: !!!

Not far away, inside a black sedan.

Xu Shuang sat in the passenger seat, squinting at the farce unfolding in front of the electric scooter not far away, her lips twitching.

"hiss……"

She turned to look at Fang Yuehan in the driver's seat, her expression indescribable.

"Is your talent scout crazy?"

Fang Yuehan rubbed her temples, her expression a little strange.

"He's quite influential in the fashion industry, you know. Among artists, there are occasionally one or two who are... quite different. But he's very capable. Many of the Best Actor and Actress winners in our Fang's entertainment company, including some of the hottest celebrities right now, were discovered by him."

Xu Shuang blinked and nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.

Neither the Xu family nor her mother's An family primarily operate in the entertainment industry; they mostly make investments. She doesn't really understand the ins and outs of this business.

But seeing Li Qing's embarrassed appearance in front of the other party not far away, she couldn't help but say, "...This is too exaggerated, isn't it? If it were me, I wouldn't dare to sign with him either."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuehan fell silent.

She thought so too.

Jenny, your acting is really bad. It's a good thing you work in fashion.

At this moment, Li Qing was truly terrified by Jenny's astonishing performance. He was now completely convinced that the other party was a suspicious person, either a fraudster or mentally unstable.

But seeing the strange smile on Jenny's face, Li Qing didn't dare to speak directly. He could only swallow and decide to accept the business card first.

He reached out, quickly pinched the business card between two fingers, then swiftly withdrew his hand, and whispered, "I understand, but I really want to go home now."

Having achieved his goal, Jenny finally moved aside in front of Li Qing's car, even giving Li Qing a flirtatious wink in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"My contact information is above, remember to contact me when you get back! Or you can just go to Twilight Nebula and mention my name~"

Before he finished speaking, Li Qing had already turned the throttle all the way up, and his secondhand electric scooter shot off with a "whoosh," its starting speed was astonishing, as if a ghost was chasing it from behind.

Jenny watched Li Qing's departing figure and stopped shouting.

He slowly lowered his raised hand, touched his chin, and muttered to himself, "...an ordinary child."

He then turned around, skillfully navigated around the traffic, opened the back door of the black sedan, and got in.

"nailed it!"

Fang Yuehan glanced at him in the rearview mirror, nodded, and then turned to Xu Shuang and said, "It's done."

Xu Shuang frowned, her pretty face full of doubt: "Why do I feel so uncertain? Can he really give... uh..."

Jenny immediately leaned over, winked at Xu Shuang, and reminded her, "Jenny~"

"Oh, Jenny," Xu Shuang smiled politely, avoiding Jenny's gaze, "He really calls you?"

"It's okay."

Jenny shrugged nonchalantly, "If he doesn't fight, I'll just go find him again. He'll be moved by me."

Could it be that he was scared?

Xu Shuang remained silent.

Now it was Jenny's turn to be curious.

This was also the first time he had ever taken on this kind of "acting" job. He had praised it to the skies during the performance, but to be honest, he would never have approached a Beta like Li Qing under normal circumstances.

He has a handsome and pleasant appearance, but he is far from meeting his standards for a "work of art".

His eyes darted back and forth between Fang Yuehan and Xu Shuang, his gossip radar buzzing.

"Honestly, why did you two insist on signing this Beta? I just took a look, and there's nothing special about him. His commercial value, even if you promote him, doesn't seem to have much potential in the future."

Fang Yuehan glanced at Xu Shuang.

Xu Shuang's reason for getting Li Qing out of Shengxin Club was purely because of Li Hao.

Li Hao knew that her brother worked as a waiter at Shengxin Club and was always sighing and worried. Xu Shuang felt sorry for Li Hao and naturally wanted to help her.

But if someone loses their job, they have to be replaced.

It would be too easy for her to just randomly pick a position for Li Qing from Xu Jia'an's house, which is why she found Fang Yuehan and wanted to put Li Qing into Twilight Nebula.

She spoke softly.

"No need to promote him too much, and don't waste your family's resources. Just let him be a figurehead. The Xu family and the An family have some harmless brand collaborations, so just give him whatever you want."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yuehan let out a sneer.

"Oh, what a wonderful sister-in-law!"

Xu Shuang raised her eyebrows, completely unconcerned about her friend's teasing.

Meanwhile, Li Qing sped home, slamming the door shut before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

He leaned against the door, still shaken by what had just happened.

Horror!

From childhood to adulthood, the village aunties and grandmas would at most praise him as "this child is really handsome" or "he is really strong," but no one had ever used such terms to praise his appearance or voice.

Li Qing has a great deal of self-awareness.

That's ridiculous! He's either crazy or a fraud!

He pulled the business card out of his pocket and threw it into the trash can without thinking.

After doing all this, Li Qing quickly took out her phone, opened the chat window with her sister, and prepared to share her experience of the day with her.
