Chapter: 2980

Ye Changmin’s words suddenly woke Zhong Tianyu up. He realized that even if he still wanted to negotiate, he should grab the best option available now. If he hesitated too long, he might end up wasting a year.

Thinking quickly, he turned to Charlie Wade and said, “I choose the first option!”

Charlie nodded and smiled. “But a minute has already passed. The first option now is to work at sea as a sailor for three years. During that time, you can’t leave the ship.”

Zhong Tianyu felt weak in his legs. “Charlie, please stop messing with me. I thought it was just two years!”

Charlie replied with a sigh, “I’m sorry, but the rules of the game are fixed. The first choice is now three years. I’ll give you one more minute to think it over. But if you still don’t decide in that time, it will turn into four years!”

Zhong Tianyu felt overwhelmed. He regretted coming to Jinling in the first place. If he had known this was how things would turn out, he would have stayed away.

He realized that if he didn’t make a choice now, it would only get worse. So, he took a deep breath and said, “Okay! I choose the first option!”

Charlie smiled again. “Great! In that case, you’ll spend a few days in Jinling first. Once my shipping company opens, I’ll arrange a suitable route for you to start working.”

Zhong Tianyu was in distress as he begged, “Charlie Wade, please let me attend Gu Qiuyi’s concert in Jinling. I’m her special guest, and fans across the country are excited to see me perform!”

Charlie Wade replied with a sneer, “You’re still thinking about that concert? Let me be clear: for the next three years, you won’t have any opportunity to be in the public eye again. Even if you manage to get on that boat, I’ll make sure you’re watched closely. No one will let you show yourself or talk to anyone!”

Zhong Tianyu felt crushed. He had been planning for this concert for a long time, even preparing a song to confess his feelings to Gu Qiuyi. He believed this was his chance to win her heart. But if Charlie didn’t allow him to participate, all his efforts would be wasted. What if he didn’t see Gu Qiuyi for three years? She might already be married by then…

In despair, he knelt before Charlie, ready to plead for his chance. Just then, Charlie’s phone rang. It was a request for a WeChat video call.

Charlie unlocked his phone and accepted the call. To his surprise, it was Gu Qiuyi. Her beautiful face appeared on the screen, and she smiled brightly. “Brother Charlie Wade, I just saw a video online of Zhong Tianyu arriving in Jinling. It was so funny! You’re not the one behind this, are you?”
