Honest Beta gets scammed

Chapter 56 Li Qing: I've met the real deal

After typing a few words on the screen, Li Qing changed her mind and deleted them all, deciding that it would be better to tell Li Hao something more important first.

Although Li Hao didn't say it, Li Qing knew that she was always worried about her job at Shengxin Club.

I've left Shengxin Club; I quit.

After the message was sent, there was no response from the other side for quite a while.

Li Qing didn't pay much attention and casually opened a short video app to watch. The funny clips on the screen made her feel much more relaxed.

About twenty minutes later, a message notification from Li Hao popped up at the top of Li Qing's phone, and Li Qing immediately clicked on it.

[Li Hao: Really! Didn't we say we'd have to work for another month until the end of the month?]

Li Qing smiled and replied, "I worked until the end of the month because when I resigned, my supervisor said I'd have to pay a million-yuan penalty for not completing the full probation period. That's why I wanted to work the full three months; I was only one month short of the deadline."

But I don't know why he opened it for me today.

On the other end of the phone, Li Hao was curled up on the sofa in his apartment, applying a face mask. When he saw the message, his brows furrowed instantly, and his eyes widened when he saw the words "one million yuan penalty for breach of contract".

Her understanding of Shengxin Club mostly came from rumors among industry peers, but she wasn't very clear on the internal details. Apparently, Shengxin's waitresses had to pay a million yuan in compensation upon leaving? What kind of contract was that? Was it legal?

Fortunately, the matter is over, and Li Qing has successfully gotten away with it. Li Hao has no intention of investigating further, but his impression of Shengxin Club has worsened.

[Li Hao: Whatever the reason, it's all good now. It's best to get out of Shengxin's place as soon as possible.]

[Li Hao: So, why don't you take a break during this time?]

Li Qing, drenched in sweat, replied: "That won't do. I'll find work tomorrow."

How could he possibly rest? He can't rest even for a single day.

He absolutely dared not tell Li Hao that he had worked at Shengxin Club for less than three months and ended up losing both his wife and his money, losing a huge sum of 200,000 yuan!

Not only did he lose his life savings for his wife, but he also lost the money he had saved for his sister's dowry!

Li Hao was unaware of the inside story and only felt that her own brother didn't even give her a chance to breathe.

[Li Hao: There's no need to be in such a hurry. It'll be fine if you take a rest.]

I can't stay still, it's okay, you don't need to worry about me.

Li Qing quickly typed the message, then, fearing her sister might try to persuade her further, she quickly changed the subject.

How's work going for you lately?

Mentioning this, Li Hao's mood immediately improved, and he even typed faster.

[Li Hao: Hehehe, I was just about to tell you, I signed with a company!]

Li Qing's eyes lit up.

[Sign with a company?]

[Li Hao: Yeah, I used to be a solo model, so it was really hard to find work. Now that I have a company, it's much better, and I'm signed with Surpass! A big company!]

Li Qing didn't really understand these modeling agencies. In his eyes, any company sounded impressive, and he was happy for his sister.

[Impressive! Hehe, big companies really have good foresight!]

[Li Hao: Shy.jpg]

Seeing the emojis her sister sent, Li Qing grinned foolishly.

He suddenly remembered what he had just experienced. Come to think of it, modeling agencies and entertainment companies are probably similar in nature, right?

[Let me tell you, when I left Shengxin today, I ran into a crazy person, someone really outrageous!]

[They stopped me from leaving, saying I was pretty and wanted to cast me as an actress.]

[Li Hao: Huh? A scammer, right?]

[Li Hao: Talent scouts will always give you their business cards.]

"Here you go, his name is Jenny. Judging from his appearance, he should be an Alpha, but his tone of voice is really strange."

Jenny!?

As soon as those two words were uttered, Li Hao instantly jumped up from the sofa, almost knocking his face mask off.

The name Jenny is practically a household name in the fashion and entertainment industries, but people outside these circles who don't follow these circles are unlikely to know it.

Li Qing's ability to accurately pronounce the name immediately made Li Hao realize that something was wrong.

She quickly searched online for a photo of Jenny attending an event, cropped it, and sent it to Li Qing.

[Li Hao: Image.jpg]

[Li Hao: Is this the person?]

Li Qing clicked on the picture. The man in the photo was wearing a suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he looked quite respectable, which was quite different from the crazy man in the floral shirt he had met today.

But Li Qing recognized that face at a glance.

【Oh, right.】

How did you get his photo?

The message had barely been sent when Li Hao's message popped up!

[Li Hao: He's my boss!!!]

Li Qing stared at the three exclamation marks, blinked, and was a little confused.

【what? 】

[Li Hao: He owns Surpass! As far as I know, he also seems to have shares in Twilight Nebula and works part-time as a talent scout for Twilight! Is he asking you to go to Twilight? That's a big company!]

Twilight Nebula?

Li Qing was stunned.

He scratched his head, got out of bed, walked a few steps to the trash can, and pulled out the business card he had thrown away.

Upon closer inspection, besides the name "Jenny" and a phone number, the business card prominently displays the four characters "Twilight Nebula" at the top.

So... he didn't encounter a madman today?

I actually received a talent scout's offer.

Li Qing felt a strange mix of emotions. But when she recalled the other person's outrageous behavior at the club entrance that evening, something seemed off.

The phone vibrated twice; another message from Li Hao had arrived.

[Li Hao: Bro! You should give it a try! If Jenny recommends you, your career will definitely go much smoother!]

[Li Hao: And there are a lot of famous artists in the Twilight family. Do you know Qu Qingzhe? He's the one who played Ling Chuan!]

[Li Hao: He's from the Twilight family too! Bro, when you go in, see if you can get me an autograph?]

Li Hao was clearly excited; a barrage of messages bombarded Li Qing, leaving him dizzy and disoriented.

But compared to her sister's excitement, Li Qing's own reaction was much calmer.

Li Qing never imagined in her life that she would be associated with the profession of actor or singer.

He had planned his life from childhood: farm well, make more money, get married, and live a peaceful life.

There must be some requirements for this kind of job, I've never done it before.

[Li Hao: Give it a try! There are tons of people without formal training these days, and they dare to start with nothing. You have Jenny's recommendation, what are you afraid of?]

Li Qing was thus coaxed into action by Li Hao, and his originally calm heart gradually began to stir.

The two chatted for a while longer before Li Qing hung up the phone and went to take a shower.

Even after he finished showering and lay in bed preparing to fall asleep, he couldn't stop thinking about it.

Jenny, Twilight Nebula, as an actor...

Li Qing: ……

In the darkness, an incredibly realistic thought inadvertently surfaced in my mind.

Actors... must earn a lot of money.
