Chapter 432 A difference of thought
“He passed away.”
Nanzhi’s answer made Zhou Bing stand up.
There was only half a cup of coffee left, but now it was completely spilled on him!
The movement here attracted the attention of many people around.
Nanzhi quickly spoke out to comfort:
"Chef Zhou, calm down."
How could Zhou Bing calm down?
He couldn't believe that just one thought on his part could make the mistake irreversible!
This made his eyes turn red uncontrollably, and he was filled with deep regret.
At this time, a small hand handed over a tissue.
“Grandpa, don’t cry.”
Nanyi’s milky voice is like the rain extinguishing the burning flames.
Zhou Bing fell into the sofa chair in despair, then carefully took the tissue from Nan Yi and wiped his face:
"Yes, I'm sorry, I lost my temper."
Nazhi: "It's okay."
Zhou Bing drooped his head dejectedly, not daring to look at Nazhi.
He just asked: "Master Nan...in what year did he die?"
Nanzhi gave an accurate time.
“…not long ago, just 5 years ago.”
Zhou Bing's head drooped even lower, and he wished he could bury it directly in the ground.
He kept muttering in his mouth:
"It's my fault. If only I had gone to Master Nan earlier... It would have been better if I had said it earlier... If I had I wish I were more courageous..."
There are always many regrets in life.
But now is the moment Zhou Bing regrets most in his life.
I am afraid that this feeling of regret will be chewed and tortured over and over again until he lies in the coffin...
Nanzhi comforted: "It's not your fault."
Zhou Bing laughed at himself smile.
"Miss Fourth, you probably don't know what happened..."
"No, I know."
Nanzhi interrupted him softly but firmly, smiling at his stunned gaze,
"I know everything."
Zhou Bing: "Could it be..."
Nanzhi nodded: "Well, grandpa left a diary and mentioned you in it. That's why I came to find you."
Zhou Bing still couldn't believe it.
"You mentioned me? But you don't blame me? How could it be? It was obviously me who refused to stand up and testify, which put Master Nan in such a predicament. It was obviously me..."
He continued intermittently. Tells what happened back then——
That year, Zhou Bing was one of the most promising apprentices in Yongnian Building.
Because of this, he has repeatedly received guidance from Nan Pingshan, the number one celebrity chef on the list, which has been extremely helpful. His fellow apprentices are even more envious and jealous.
But Zhou Bing never imagined that a conversation he accidentally bumped into would become a turning point in his fate!
Because what he heard happened to be the conversation between Wang Yongnian and Wang De and his son plotting to destroy Nanping Mountain.
To be precise, it was mainly Wang De’s idea.
Zhou Bing can still accurately recall Wander’s hysterical roar:
‘…Dad! The person named Wang belongs to me, not him Nanpingshan! ’
‘...Do you want to see me die? Or do you want to see Yongnian Building and Wang Family destroyed? ’
‘...His Nan Pingshan relies on my Wang family for all his abilities! Why shouldn't our Wang family ask him to pay something now? ’
‘…Nan Pingshan is the one who is ungrateful and betrays his master! I just did what I should do as a member of the Wang family! ’
‘…’
Hearing these words, Zhou Bing, whose mind went blank, could only cover his mouth desperately.
Then, silently choose to leave.
At that time, his father was seriously ill in bed, and his mother shouldered the burden of the family on her thin shoulders. She also had a pair of young siblings who were going to school. As an apprentice in Yongnian Building, he is the hope of his family.
Because the wages offered by Yongnian Building are high, chefs who have served as apprentices here will be competed for in any restaurant they go to.
Besides, being a chef is a job that becomes more popular as you get older. You can open your own restaurant in the future, and your future is bright.
Whether it is his mother, his younger siblings, or even himself, when faced with the hardships of life, all he thinks about is that he can just endure it a little longer until he graduates.
Therefore, at this time, there is no room for any mistakes.
It is like walking on a tightrope in the mountains. If you are not careful, you will fall to pieces.
But he heard such a big thing.
Zhou Bing's first reaction was to hide.
He took two days off and returned home on the pretext of feeling unwell.
But he couldn't sleep all night long, and he could only keep praying that what he heard would not happen.
The opposite happened.
My younger brother came home from school holding a newspaper and shared with him the news that shocked the whole city.
Zhou Bing rarely got angry at his younger brother.
My brother cried.
He knew he was expressing his anger.
The real object of his anger is his cowardly self.
Soon, Nanpingshan came.
It turns out that Nanpingshan guessed a hint of the truth from his abnormality, so he came to ask him.
He chose to avoid it.
During those days of suffering, he was not shaken.
Several times he wanted to just rush out and tell the truth about everything he heard!
As a result, Wang De also came to him at this time and viciously threatened that if he dared to tell the truth, the Wang family would make him unable to survive in the circle and never be a chef again!
Zhou Bing was afraid.
Until Nanpingshan sadly left Yanjing, he never saw Nanpingshan again.
...
Talking about what happened that year, Zhou Bing burst into tears.
Nanzhi's expression did not move, nor did he show any contempt or anger towards Zhou Bing.
Because of these things, she had already read them in her grandfather’s diary.
"Actually, grandpa knows your family situation and guesses the reason why you don't want to talk about it. He doesn't blame you. After all, there are other people who really did the wrong thing."
Nanzhi and her grandfather Nanpingshan had the same idea, and both thought Zhou Bing was innocent.
However, Zhou Bing choked and shook his head:
“No, I was wrong... Do you know what is the most ridiculous thing about this matter? That is that I really believed Wang De. Threat! ”
For a young apprentice who has never seen much of the world, Wang De’s threat is simply the same as the sky falling!
He guarded the secret with trepidation and endured it for two years.
Finally one day, he couldn't bear it anymore and resigned from Yongnian Building in anger, planning to go to Nanpingshan to tell the truth.
Wang De learned the news and angrily threatened him for the second time.
Zhou Bing doesn't care at all.
He has already thought about it. The worst he can do is not be a chef but move bricks at a construction site!
The result......
Wonder's threat was not as scary as he thought.
The Wang family is very popular, but they cannot cover the sky with one hand.
Zhou Bing left Yanjing and went to a coastal city, where he easily found a new job as a chef.
No matter if Wang De is so angry that he jumps around, Zhou Bing's abilities and experience belong to him.
The only pity is that Zhou Bing traveled to many places and failed to find Nanping Mountain.
What happened back then has completely become a knot in his mind.
Zhou Bing said in a daze:
“It’s a difference of one thought, a difference of one thought...”
