Honest Beta gets scammed

What the hell?

Fang Yuehan rubbed her fingertips together, feeling that the message looked damn familiar. She frowned, swiped her finger across the screen a few times, and opened her chat with Xu Shuang.

The message was sent three hours ago.

[Xiao Shuang: Li Hao has been talking a lot about her brother's work lately; I think she's really looking forward to seeing him in a TV series.]

[Xiao Shuang: Is your drama starring Qu Qingzhe about to start filming soon? Could you add Li Qing to the cast?]

[Xiao Shuang: Don't give him any very important roles, and just don't give him a bad guy.]

[Xiao Shuang: Don't worry, you won't lose out. I'll send you the money. *heart emoji*]

After Xu Shuang sent the message, Fang Yuehan didn't think much of it and told her subordinates to arrange a role for Li Qing. It was just a small part, and since someone was eager to invest money, she was naturally happy to see it happen.

Unexpectedly, three hours later, He Xiangchen sent a message that was almost identical to Xu Shuang's request.

She knew about Xu Shuang's affair with Li Hao, so she wasn't surprised.

But she never expected that He Xiangchen would come over and say this to her.

As far as she knew, He Xiangchen and Xu Shuang's relationship wasn't good; in fact, they couldn't stand each other. How could he be involved in the same matter as Xu Shuang? And for the same person no less.

Raising an eyebrow, Fang Yuehan suddenly felt that things were becoming interesting.

She raised an eyebrow and replied to He Xiangchen with three words.

【understood. 】

One role earned two investments, but who would have thought that I would be the one to benefit?

After sending the message, Fang Yuehan smiled and put her phone on the table. She looked up and instructed her assistant, who was waiting beside her, "Have Qu Qingzhe come pick me up tonight."

"Okay, Mr. Fang."

……

On the other side, He Xiangchen was very satisfied with Fang Yuehan's reply.

He wasn't some kind of autocratic monarch. Although he was a little annoyed that Li Qing didn't spend time with him, he had no reason to object to Li Qing wanting to work. He could support him without hesitation and even give him a little praise.

It's a good opportunity to ride on Qu Qingzhe's coattails and take advantage of his popularity.

When filming starts, he can visit the set. Li Qing is playing a minor supporting role with few scenes, so he'll definitely have plenty of free time. Once Li Qing has some free time, he can take him out for a meal, go for a walk, and flirt with him a bit.

perfect.

Li Qing is memorizing his lines right now.

He lay sprawled on the sofa, frowning at the script in his hands; he was never good at memorizing things.

Fortunately, Shadow Six is ​​a taciturn character, with only a few pages of dialogue in total, otherwise it would have been the death of him.

"call……"

Li Qing let out a breath and slumped into the soft sofa, feeling like a large number of his brain cells had died. He held the script up in front of his eyes and read it again.

He's almost finished memorizing it, but he stumbles a bit. If he actually gets to the filming location and faces so many other actors and cameras, he'll probably be even more nervous and his memorization might get even worse.

I lay on the sofa for a while, resting, one hand gripping the script, which I unconsciously swung back and forth in the air.

Suddenly, he looked up and his eyes lit up.

Or... should we find someone to go over the lines with him?

The moment the thought popped into his head, He Xiangchen's face immediately appeared in his mind.

Come to think of it, it has been a while since they've had a proper meeting. They've been keeping in touch by chatting on their phones and occasionally by video calls, so this is a good opportunity to call him over.

Li Qing's eyes lit up, and she immediately sat up from the sofa and reached for her phone.

The phone screen lit up, displaying the current time: 11:15 PM.

...It's so late.

Li Qing paused, realizing that calling out at this moment seemed inappropriate.

After thinking it over, he still called He Xiangchen.

He Xiangchen had just finished showering and was wearing a bathrobe, drying his hair with a hairdryer. His phone rang, and he casually turned off the hairdryer and lazily walked towards the bedroom.

When he caught a glimpse of the words "Little Country Bumpkin" on the screen, his previously lazy expression changed.

He raised his hand to answer, but just as his fingertips were about to touch the answer button, he stopped abruptly.

No.

He Xiangchen narrowed his eyes.

During this period, he was always the one initiating messages and calls to Li Qing, but this country bumpkin never took the initiative to message or call him back, and he was also very slow to reply!

If the other party calls him now, wouldn't it make him seem like he cares a lot and that the other person is very important?

We can't spoil Li Qing like this; we need to put him in a tough spot.

He Xiangchen stared at the screen without saying a word.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, done!

He swiped to answer the call, cleared his throat, and lazily asked, "Feed? Li Qing?"

Hearing his voice on the other end of the phone, Li Qing breathed a sigh of relief: "He Xiangchen, you're still awake? Did I disturb you?"

"No, I was just about to go to sleep. What's wrong? Why are you calling so late?"

Li Qing said a little shyly, "I recently took on a role in a period drama, and the lines are a bit difficult to memorize. I was wondering if you'd be free tomorrow? Or maybe on a day after that when you're not working, could you come over and help me rehearse the lines?"

"Rehearsing a scene?"

He Xiangchen glanced at the clock on the wall: "Why wait until tomorrow? Can't we do it now?"

"what?"

Li Qing was stunned for a moment.

"It's already past eleven o'clock, isn't that too late? Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"

"fine."

He Xiangchen casually picked up a black T-shirt and casual pants to change out of his bathrobe.

"I've finished all my work for this week, I'm very free. Wait for me, I'll be right there."

"Well... okay then."

Hearing this, Li Qing stopped refusing. He was naturally happy that he could come over immediately.

"Be careful on the road, I'll treat you to a late-night snack!"

"OK."

After hanging up the phone, He Xiangchen looked at his phone screen, chuckled softly, then quickly changed his clothes, grabbed his car keys, and left the villa.

Soon, a Mercedes-Benz left the villa area.

A minute later, a line of black cars followed.

In the passenger seat of the middle car in the convoy, Xu Shi pushed up his glasses with a headache.

Didn't we agree to stay home tonight? What's going on now?!

With He Xiangchen coming, Li Qing put down the script and felt much more at ease. He figured that after rehearsing the lines and having a late-night snack, it would be very late, so he decided to let He Xiangchen stay overnight.

He went to the bedroom, took out the pajamas he had bought for He Xiangchen from the closet, and then returned to the living room to continue working on the script.

About thirty minutes later, the doorbell rang on time.

Li Qing hurriedly ran over to open the door, and sure enough, He Xiangchen was standing outside.

He Xiangchen's hair was still a little damp, and he had a smile on his face. He waved at Li Qing and waved a takeout box he was carrying in his other hand.
