Honest Beta gets scammed

After introducing Li Qing and Guan Li, Jenny waved and left. He was quite busy with work, leaving only Li Qing and Guan Li in the office.

Guan Li pushed up her glasses, her gaze falling on Li Qing, and got straight to the point.

"Regarding your future career path, is there anything you'd like to do, like being a singer?"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing shook his head vigorously, waving his hands frantically, "No, no, no, my singing is terrible."

Although Jenny shouted that Li Qing's voice was charming that day, Li Qing himself knew very well that he had always been tone-deaf, so he had no intention of considering becoming a singer.

Guan Li nodded as she looked at him.

"Okay, I understand."

This was actually within her expectations.

There's no hard and fast rule for singers and actors; the bar is the same for both. But singers inevitably have to perform live, and if they mess up, it's a major social disaster. Marketing accounts will never miss the chance to retaliate, and all sorts of hilarious videos will circulate online, forever branding them with shame.

In contrast, actors have a higher margin for error. Even if a show flops, most of the criticism will be drawn to the lead actors and the plot. If you play a minor role and act badly, you won't necessarily be dragged onto the public scrutiny stage.

Following instructions from above, Guan Li had no intention of giving Li Qing a leading role.

"In that case, let's focus on acting." Guan Li nodded, confirming the direction. "However, before you officially start taking on roles, you'll need some professional acting training. I'll arrange a few courses for you, starting tomorrow."

"Okay, okay."

The communication went exceptionally smoothly. Li Qing nodded repeatedly and had no objections throughout the process. Guan Li was very satisfied with his cooperative attitude.

"Okay, that's all for now. I'll take you to see the apartment the company arranged."

After saying that, Guan Li stood up and walked ahead, with Li Qing quickly following.

The company-arranged apartment was in the building next door, very close by. Guan Li helped him swipe his card and enter the elevator, and soon they arrived at the door of an apartment on the eighteenth floor.

"Beep!"

Guan Li entered a password, and the door opened immediately.

"You'll be staying here from now on. Here's your elevator card; you can change the password yourself later."

Li Qing peeked inside and was immediately stunned.

This is a one-bedroom apartment of about 70 square meters, decorated in a simple modern style. The living room is furnished with a sofa and coffee table, and the open kitchen is fully equipped with kitchen utensils. In the bedroom, a soft, large bed faces a huge floor-to-ceiling window.

Although it wasn't exactly a top-tier mansion, compared to his previous tiny room partitioned off with just a bed and a table, this place was practically paradise.

Li Qing sighed inwardly. In his twenty-eight years of life, he had never lived in such a nice house.

"Do you have a lot of luggage? If so, you can call a moving company," Guan Li continued.

"Oh? Oh, not much, I can handle it myself in one trip."

Li Qing came to his senses and scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.

His entire collection consisted of only two or three large woven bags; he didn't need a moving company at all.

Upon hearing this, Guan Li nodded without saying much, but simply took out her phone: "Let's add each other's contact information for future work communication."

"it is good."

Li Qing quickly took out his secondhand phone and opened the QR code.

Guan Li scanned the QR code to add a friend.

A crack appeared in her expression when she saw Li Qing's red tractor head.

Guan Li's eye twitched slightly. She looked up at Li Qing and said, "You'd better change this profile picture."

If Li Qing officially starts working later, she will inevitably come into contact with people in the entertainment industry. It is common for people to flatter the powerful and belittle the weak in this industry. It's fine if Li Qing is a big star, but if she is a small star, seeing this profile picture in her contact information will probably cause some ridicule.

Li Qing was taken aback upon hearing this and looked down at his own profile picture.

This is the "great beauty" of their home.

His agricultural minister was the first big machine he saved up to buy. The photo of him was taken on the day "Da Mei" was brought back. The colors were very bright and beautiful! Although the colors have darkened a lot over the years due to wind and rain, he has always treasured this photo.

I'm actually a little reluctant to let him change it.

But then I thought about it again, since the photos are all in my phone's album anyway, there's no need to put them on my profile picture and look at them every day.

"Okay, I'll change it right away."

There weren't many photos in the album; most were of the fields and crops in his hometown, along with a few selfies of his younger sister, Li Hao. He scrolled through them for a while before finally selecting and changing them.

It was a birthday cake with two lit candles, one in the shape of the number "2" and the other in the shape of the number "0".

This photo was taken when Li Hao celebrated his twentieth birthday with his classmates at university. Li Qing couldn't be there, so Li Hao took a picture and sent it to him. He kept it and now it's come in handy.

Guan Li leaned over for a look and thought that although it wasn't particularly stylish, it was at least more normal than a tractor, so she didn't say anything more.

She glanced at the time on her watch and said, "I have other artists to manage, so I'll be leaving now. Remember to arrive at the company on time for class tomorrow according to the schedule I sent you."

"Okay."

After Guan Li left, Li Qing stood alone in the apartment, unable to contain her joy.

Like a curious child, he wandered around the room, touching this and looking at that. Finally, he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the street below, and gazed at the tall buildings in the distance. He felt a strange and indescribable feeling.

After lounging on the sofa for a while, he remembered his business and changed the door password according to the electronic instructions sent by Guan Li.

After finishing, he took the elevator downstairs, ready to ride his electric scooter to move his belongings from the rented apartment.

However, just as he got on his electric scooter, he suddenly remembered that he had made a dinner appointment with He Xiangchen that day.

He took out his phone and checked the time; it was almost time for the appointment.

Adhering to the simple principle of not being late, Li Qing made a quick decision to come back and move after finishing her meal.

He locked up his electric scooter and ran towards the meeting place they had agreed to meet. Fortunately, the place was not far away, just next door.

When Li Qing arrived at the location, he immediately saw He Xiangchen standing by the roadside.

He leaned against a car, a cigarette between his fingers, his posture relaxed yet dignified. The streetlight shone on him, outlining his tall figure and striking features, and every gesture exuded an air of nobility.

Passersby occasionally couldn't help but steal glances at him.

Li Qing's running pace unconsciously slowed down.

Honestly, just looking at her like this, Li Qing couldn't imagine that the other person would be bullied by an illegitimate child.

As Li Qing was pondering, He Xiangchen exhaled a puff of smoke, and his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of him.

He raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile in his eyes, and casually waved the cigarette between his fingers in Li Qing's direction.

"Li Qing".

As soon as he spoke, the passersby who had been peeking around turned their gazes to him, wondering who this Alpha was greeting.

Li Qing didn't notice the stares. When He Xiangchen greeted him, he paused for a moment, then grinned and jogged over to He Xiangchen.

"Have you been waiting long? I'm sorry, something came up and I was held up."

He Xiangchen looked him up and down, then stubbed out his cigarette on the nearby trash can and tossed it in.

"No, you weren't late."
