Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen: The Unspeakable Past

In Tan Jing's childhood impression, father was just a vague term.When she was in kindergarten, one day no one at home came to pick her up. The kindergarten teacher sat with her in the classroom for a long time, and the neighbor Sun Tingting's mother came in a panic.Tan Jing only saw Tingting's mother whispering something to the kindergarten teacher, and the kindergarten teacher handed her over to Tingting's mother. It was already dark at that time, and the lights were on in the classroom. The teacher stroked her hair, He said to her very gently: "Hey, go back with Aunt Qi, your mother can't pick you up because of something."

That day Tingting's mother carried her home on a bicycle. Tan Jing still remembers that the wind was very strong along the way. Tingting's mother wrapped her scarf around her neck and asked her to eat clams at night while pedaling hard. Is it okay to boil eggs?Tingting is two years older than her and is already in elementary school, doing her homework under the lamp.Tingting's mother was busy cooking as soon as she came in, so she gave Tan Jing a little book to pass the time.Tan Jing likes to read comic books, so she sat there quietly and read them.During the meal, Tingting's mother scooped a bowl of stewed eggs into her bowl, but did not share it with Tingting.After eating, Tingting's mother gave her a bath, and she slept at Tingting's house that day.The next morning, her mother came to pick her up. She saw her mother's red and swollen eyes and messy hair, and she had no idea what happened.After a long, long time, I realized that my father was gone, not gone, but dead.

From then on, the teachers always looked at her with a trace of pity.No one from her classmates bullied her, and she didn't have the bloody plots that are common in movies and TV shows. She was not much different from other students.At that time, everyone's economic conditions were similar. Her family may have a little more difficulty than ordinary dual-earner families, but the neighbors are willing to help, and life is not considered difficult. Her mother is a music teacher, and she can earn some extra money. She went to Nie Yusheng's house to teach piano to earn extra money.When she first met Nie Yucheng, Tan Jing never thought about what the future would be like.In her imagination, she should be like all the girls in the class, study hard, go to university, and then live an ordinary and ordinary life.The liking and attachment at that time was a very pure thing.It wasn't until her mother objected that she felt that she had encountered the first difficulty in her life.

Mother's objection to her was simple: she was too young.Tan Jing also felt that what her mother said made sense. At first, her mother encouraged her to communicate with Nie Yucheng, because they were all talking about studying. Maybe her mother thought that Nie Yucheng was just a brother, a role model worth learning.When she entered the first year of college and mustered up the courage to confess to her mother that she and Nie Yucheng were not ordinary classmates, her mother expressed the most fierce opposition. "You are too young to understand what it means to fall in love. Besides, the Nie family is not the same as our family. Rich people like them are too complicated."

Tan Jing didn't worry about this matter for a long time. Her mother didn't let her have any contact with Nie Yucheng, so she could secretly write letters and make phone calls.In her young and innocent heart, she only felt that her mother was worrying unfoundedly.But she and Nie Yucheng are indeed too young, so wait a little longer, maybe they will be old enough for adults to take their relationship seriously by the time they graduate. Nie Dongyuan was too busy to know that his son was in a relationship.Once he went abroad, Nie Yucheng took the opportunity to let Tan Jing go to their house to play, but Tan Jing refused to go.

"Why didn't you come?" Nie Yucheng was very dissatisfied on the phone. People who are in love always hope to see their lover all the time. "My mother would be upset if she knew." "Doesn't your mother like me very much?" "She likes to teach you how to play the piano, and she thinks you're good at studying...she doesn't like you falling in love with me." Tan Jing whispered, "Anyway, it's not good for me to go to your house." Nie Yucheng was not angry either, anyway, there are many places the two of them can go.Take a walk by the river, fly a kite, and watch the boaters secretly use the electric grid to fish.When she met a peddler who sold lotus pods, Nie Yucheng bought a bunch of lotus pods for her to eat.Usually the hawker will give a lotus leaf, and they sit in the shade of the banyan tree by the river, watching egrets wading in the water looking for small fish in the distance, then peel the lotus seeds, and chat while eating.Tan Jing would put lotus seed shells on the lotus leaves. Nie Yucheng occasionally picked up lotus seed shells and put them on his fingers. He used a pen to draw curved eyes and mouths on the lotus shells, pretending to be a puppet show. Play several roles and amuse her.The setting sun shines down through the branches and leaves of the banyan tree, and dragonflies fly by in twos and threes in the evening wind, and the time is as clear as crystal.

and after?later? Tan Jing thought blankly, it should be not long after that. At that time, the two of them never thought that the shadow of fate had already quietly approached. Until her mother died, Tan Jing never thought that things would be different.Xie Zhiyun's heart is weak, and all kinds of treatment are only delayed. He has been in and out of the hospital several times, and the last time he got sick was in class.When she was in a music class, she suddenly fell into a coma, and the students panicked. They found the head teacher and took her to the hospital. After that, she never woke up again.

Tan Jing was still on a university campus in another city at the time. After receiving the call, she rushed back overnight, forgetting to cry, and was only in a hurry to raise medical expenses.At that time, the school had not yet been restructured, and when the education funds were the most difficult, the teachers could not even pay their salaries on time, not to mention that her mother was not a teacher of the main subject, and she was not taken seriously.Tan Jing borrowed money from relatives and friends before handing in the first deposit for hospitalization.Later, Nie Yucheng found out and sent her another 20,000 yuan for emergency treatment, but in the end he still couldn't save his mother's life. After more than ten days in the hospital, he still left.The school sent two teachers to help Tan Jing deal with the funeral, because Xie Zhiyun fell ill in class and was considered to have died in the line of duty. Jing paid off all the debts owed by her relatives.At that time, Tan Jing lost her only family member, suffered a lot of blows and suffered from low immunity. She suffered from shingles, a high fever that persisted, and the pain was unbearable. Nie Yucheng skipped class and rushed back, and sent her to the hospital. After more than a month, Tan Jing mustered up the courage to go back home and pack up her mother's belongings.

The property left by her mother is not much. For so many years, mother and daughter have depended on each other for life. Tan Jing also knows that it is not easy for her mother to support herself to go to college alone, and it is impossible to save any money.She sorted out the few passbooks, took her mother's death certificate, and went to one bank to transfer the money.Every time I do it, I almost shed tears.The remaining money is not enough for her to continue her college education, Nie Yucheng said: "I will support you in the future." So full of self-confidence, she was depressed, and only said: "You are still a student, what do you do to support me?"

"You underestimate me!" Nie Yucheng was so aroused by her, he ran to do drink promotions during the summer vacation.At that time, the competition for beverages was not very fierce, and street promotions were rare. He set up a street exhibition, hired some students to work, and after a busy summer, excluding various expenses such as material and labor costs, he earned nearly Ten thousand dollars.In addition to buying her a brooch, he also deposited the rest of the money into her account to give her living expenses for the current semester. "Why did you buy a brooch for me?"

"Because I hope that the thing closest to your heart is from me." The sweet talk between lovers, no matter how much and thick it is, it will never get boring, right? It was because of this summer job that Nie Dongyuan found out that his son was in a relationship.The promotion manager felt that this street promotion method was very effective, and reported it layer by layer as a classic case. The vice president in charge of FMCG marketing finally recognized that the person in charge of promotion in the photo was the boss's precious son.Only then did Nie Dongyuan know that his son had sold drinks for the whole summer despite the scorching heat, and had achieved outstanding results. When Nie Yusheng was in college, apart from the fixed pocket money of 5,000 yuan per month, he could use Nie Dongyuan's supplementary card for other purchases such as computers and clothes.Nie Dongyuan was surprised, why did his son have to stand in the hot sun for two months and stand on the street for promotion?Is he short of money?Of course he shouldn't be short of money.So why did he do this?This son was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child, and it took a lot of effort for the nanny to tell him to get up early and go to school. What could make him willing to put down his airs and suffer?There must be a reason.This reason is very important and must be found out. After knowing who Tan Jing was, Nie Dongyuan didn't see Tan Jing, so he felt it was useless.He directly asked someone to send a check of 100,000 yuan to Tan Jing, and the man said politely: "Miss Tan is a smart person, and she takes people's money to eliminate disasters." Although Tan Jing was introverted, she also had self-esteem and was more youthful and energetic. She asked, "So in Mr. Nie's eyes, is my association with Nie Yucheng a disaster?" But he was stunned by the visitor's question, and went back to tell Nie Dongyuan.He laughed loudly and said: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and a little girl is eloquent, so you don't need to be as knowledgeable as her." Nie Dongyuan really didn't take Tan Jing seriously. Apart from being pretty, how much lethality can a young girl who just graduated from university have?The more this kind of thing is suppressed, the more it will rebound. He knows Nie Yucheng's character very well, and he doesn't plan to try to beat the mandarin duck again, lest he really force his son and this little girl into a mandarin duck.In his opinion, love at this age is just a momentary obsession. Nie Yucheng is infatuated with this girl, and whatever he does will only backfire, so it's better to wait and see. The first time Nie Dongyuan really felt that Tan Jing was a threat was when Nie Yucheng insisted on changing his major.When Nie Yucheng chose bioengineering as his first choice in the college entrance examination, Nie Dongyuan was already very disappointed, but he still had something to do with his company, so he held back and said nothing.Unexpectedly, Nie Yucheng applied to change to clinical medicine, because the principal's signature was required to change majors across colleges, so Nie Dongyuan was alarmed in the end, and he felt that it was intolerable or unbearable. He flew to the location of his son's school and had a long talk with Nie Yucheng. Nie Yucheng was still the same, refusing to say a word if he didn't want to talk to him.But he collected information through various channels, and finally understood why his son was obsessed with wanting to study medicine. At first, he opposed Nie Yucheng's being with Tan Jing for one reason: Tan Jing's mother had heart disease, and I don't know if it would be inherited. The stakes are too high.When he objected with this reason, Nie Yucheng didn't say anything, but he went to study medicine for this reason. Finally, Nie Dongyuan no longer underestimated the little girl surnamed Tan's status in his son's heart. "She is not suitable for you." He persuaded his son earnestly, "You and she did not grow up in the same environment. There is no problem now, but there will be various problems in the future. Can you guarantee anything by studying medicine? Doctor It can save people, but it is not omnipotent. You are such a smart person, why can't you figure it out?" Nie Yucheng was completely indifferent: "You are already so rich, do you still need me to marry a rich lady in order to increase your wealth?" Nie Dongyuan's company had just been listed in Hong Kong at that time, and it was going smoothly. It was the time when he was full of ambitions, so how could his son be so disobedient.But he didn't change his face. Starting from his son's side won't have much effect, so let's start from Tan Jing's side. It was the first and last time that Nie Dongyuan met Tan Jing, and Tan Jing can still remember it clearly.For this conversation, Nie Dongyuan specially made an appointment in the coffee shop of a five-star hotel.There were very few people in the coffee shop, and the air conditioner was very cold, so he didn't say much. Seeing Tan Jing, he said, "You can't be with Nie Yucheng, you won't be happy with him. If your mother is alive, It will also be strongly opposed." At that time, Tan Jing was very innocent, so she asked foolishly, "What does this have to do with my mother?" Nie Dongyuan didn't say a word, but gently pushed a photo in front of her.Tan Jing saw that the people in the photo were her mother and Nie Dongyuan, the background was the top of Hong Kong Mountain, the lights of thousands of houses were dotted with lights, and countless skyscrapers looked like Qionglou Yuyu, which was as beautiful as a dream.Tan Jing has never been to Hong Kong, but she has watched a lot of TVB dramas. She recognized such a romantic place at a glance. Tan Jing didn't know when her mother had been to Hong Kong. For a while, her mother had gone to other places for training. At that time, Tan Jing had already lived in school, so she didn't know her mother's real whereabouts. Tan Jing's simple thinking can't accept such a complicated thing at once. She has to think about it before she can understand why her mother took this photo with Nie Dongyuan in Hong Kong. "Your mother likes Victoria Harbor very much. She said that the most beautiful thing she can imagine in this world is about having a house in the middle of Hong Kong, where you can see the blue sea every day. At night, there are many lights, as if all the stars in the sky are shining. Fall." Nie Dongyuan didn't rush or apologize, he never helped you.No matter what you think, I plan to transfer the ownership of the house in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong to you, as long as you promise not to associate with Nie Yucheng.You are not suitable, and there will be many, many problems together. " Tan Jing lost her sense of proportion and just said, "I'll think about it." "Your mother is a good woman. When she was with me, she didn't spend any money on me. She was different from others. She didn't stay with me for money. She often mentioned you. I hope you can grow up happily. Big, living happily and peacefully. Maybe you don’t know Nie Yucheng’s temper. I thought about remarrying many years ago, but he forced me to die, so I jumped off the balcony of my house. Fortunately, I fell on the lawn, only breaking my arm. Scared me. He won't let me get married, so I won't get married. This child has no mother since he was a child, and he is very sensitive. He doesn't want any outsiders to disturb our father and son. My relationship with your mother is hidden from him. Yes. He doesn't know, and I don't intend to let him know. If you want to let him know, it's your choice." Tan Jing's heart was in a mess, and she took the bus back to campus alone, and there was a paper bag in her bag, which was the deed of the house in Hong Kong given by Nie Dongyuan.He said, "This isn't for you, it's for your mother." Tan Jing couldn't help crying when she thought of her mother lying in the hospital at the end.Her father died more than ten years ago, and her impression of him has faded to nothing. It is just a family portrait hanging on the wall at home, which was taken when she was one year old.The father in the photo is a handsome young man, and her entire impression of him will always be fixed in the image of the photo.More than ten years have passed, and her mother has not remarried. She is used to living with her mother, and never thought about whether her mother would have the idea of ​​remarrying. Perhaps because of her selfishness, her mother never talked to her about this issue.The mother is like a real widow, pulling her up alone and alone. In those few years, the social atmosphere has gradually become civilized, and divorce and remarriage are no longer things to be judged by others.But my mother never mentioned it, and she got used to it.She never thought that Nie Dongyuan would mention her mother in such a tone. Her mother is indeed a good woman, quiet and does not cause trouble to anyone.The neighbors felt sorry for their mother and daughter, and they wanted to help them in everything. When they were still burning briquettes, no matter who bought coal, the neighbors would buy a hundred for them, and they were neatly stacked in the corridor. .Mom rarely asked for help, and worked hard to repay the neighbors for all kinds of attention. If it weren't for her feelings, maybe my mother would remarry.Tan Jing returned to the campus feeling very guilty, she needed to calmly think about her problem with Nie Yucheng.She thought over and over what Nie Dongyuan said, and remembered that last year, Nie Yucheng came to her in despair. At that time, he refused to say anything and had a high fever, which scared her into fear. Finally, Nie Yucheng told her that her father had once Had a lover, and a child.This incident hit Nie Yucheng very hard. He almost felt that his father had betrayed him and wanted to leave him to build a new family. When Tan Jing thought about this matter, she knew that Nie Dongyuan was not lying, that Nie Yucheng did not want his father to remarry, and that the affairs of the Nie family were too complicated, just like what mother said.She shouldn't get involved with such a rich family.But she loves Nie Yucheng, and Nie Yucheng also loves her. This kind of love is pure and simple. She never felt that Nie Yucheng's family environment would have any impact on this relationship.After learning about her mother's relationship with Nie Dongyuan, she really felt uneasy. Her mother's fierce opposition during her lifetime seemed to confirm Nie Dongyuan's words.If she dated Nie Yucheng, her mother would not approve of it. When Tan Jing said this, she fell silent unconsciously, and Sheng Fangting also fell silent. In the silent ward, the sound of nurses pushing the cart could be heard in the corridor in the distance.Creaking is the sound of rubber wheels scratching the ground.After an unknown amount of time, Sheng Fangting asked, "Is this why you left Nie Yucheng?" "No." Tan Jing's gaze seemed even more confused, "This matter made me hesitate, but what really made me feel that I can't be with Nie Yucheng is because of another matter." "What kind of thing?" Tan Jing was silent for a while, as if she didn't want to bring it up, but in the end she said: "Nie Dongyuan started from scratch, turning a collectively owned beverage factory into his own private factory." Sheng Fangting nodded: "Everyone in the industry knows that this beverage factory has a history of nearly a hundred years. It was originally run by an old overseas Chinese. After liberation, it was a public-private joint venture. After the Cultural Revolution, it was changed to a collectively owned factory. In the end, Nie Dongyuan bought it at a very cheap price. From this factory, he started to make health drinks and mineral water, and expanded rapidly within four years, achieving the No. 1 market share. Until now, Dongyuan’s health drinks, purified water, fruit juices, soft drinks... It still has a great advantage in the market, especially health drinks, and its market share has been very stable. Even a company like Coca-Cola has nothing to do with Dongyuan.” "When Dongyuan started its business, it relied on this health drink. It is said to be a 60-year-old formula. It was handed over to the country by the old overseas Chinese after a public-private partnership. That factory relied on this formula to develop the planned economy. The era has survived for so many years. My father is in the technical department, and he has been responsible for keeping the formula before. He didn't accidentally get into a car accident, but someone killed someone to silence him." When Tan Jing said this, she felt her hands trembling slightly, as if seeing her mother's diary for the first time.Xie Zhiyun is careful, although she writes a diary, she puts the diary in a special place. Tan Jing didn’t even know that her mother kept a diary. Long after her mother passed away, when she was tidying up the house, she accidentally found it from a jar of shrimp paste. took this diary. It is said to be a diary, but it is actually written every few days, it seems more like a weekly diary.In this diary, Xie Zhiyun described her husband's death in detail. It was so sudden and hasty that she couldn't believe that her husband would leave her and her daughter so suddenly because of a car accident.In the few days after the car accident, her records were very messy, but the subsequent diaries gradually became organized.The perpetrator was never found, because it was on the way home from get off work. The factory calculated the pension according to work-related injuries, and the amount was not much, because Tan Shaohua's working years were not long.And at that time, the factory was on the verge of bankruptcy and was about to be auctioned. It is said that a Hong Kong businessman wanted to buy the factory.At the end of the 1980s, attracting business and investment was still a very rare thing, so the local government and competent departments vigorously promoted this matter.People in the factory were panicked, and not many people cared about the accidental death of a technician.Xie Zhiyun always felt that there was something strange about the car accident, because various evidences at the scene showed that it was a large truck, and there were traces of several collisions, so it didn't look like an accident.But the traffic police said that it may be because the driver found out that he had hit someone and then simply caused another accident and killed him.Because in those days, compensation for a car accident was an astronomical figure for the car owner. If the car was damaged, the follow-up compensation would be endless. Some drivers would choose to take risks.Xie Zhiyun's heart was broken at the time, and she wanted to find out the perpetrator, but how could she find out as a weak woman?After several trips to the traffic police brigade, Xie Zhiyun was in despair. The diary for a long period of time later recorded the trivial things in life, and between the lines, it was a mother's love for her daughter.Tan Jing read these words at the time, only felt that it was not easy for a mother to raise a child alone, and the faucet at home was broken, so she could only watch it spray water everywhere, and when the neighbor came back, someone helped to screw it on with wire.The old-fashioned family building has many inconveniences. Several families share the kitchen, and the liquefied gas is gone. Xie Zhiyun can't carry the gas jar, so he always asks someone to send it to the liquefied gas station for ventilation.It is obviously a very bitter life, but her mother tried her best to dress her up cleanly, and took her to the park to play on Sundays. She never made her feel that she lacked any joy compared to her peers. Yuan Jiafu's name appeared in the second half of the diary, and that diary was very long. When Tan Jing first saw Yuan Jiafu's strange name, she felt a strange sense of foreboding in her heart.Xie Zhiyun spent a lot of space writing about Yuan Jiafu, who kept following him to and from get off work. Xie Zhiyun thought he had met a bad guy—he lived alone with his daughter, and she was more vigilant than ordinary people. Thieves are afraid that there are many gossip at the door.On the way to and from get off work, she found herself being followed by strangers, so she quietly told the male colleagues in the same office that several male teachers tried to stop Yuan Jiafu, but he ran away in a hurry. Xie Zhiyun thought that this was the end of the matter. On the way home from playing the piano in the hotel lobby the next day, she ran into Yuan Jiafu again.She couldn't help but feel scared, but Yuan Jiafu took the initiative to say: "Mr. Xie, don't be afraid... I have no malicious intentions, I just came to see you and your daughter." Yuan Jiafu hesitated, and Xie Zhiyun had already rushed to the streetlight in a few steps. There was a herbal tea stand there, and several people were drinking herbal tea and playing chess. Only then did she feel a little more at ease.Seeing her like this, Yuan Jiafu left without saying anything.A few days later, Xie Zhiyun received a call in the office. It was Yuan Jiafu who called from the public phone. He said that he was going to Nanyang to explore the world, so he came to see "Tan Shifu"'s lover and friend before leaving. daughter.Xie Zhiyun sensed something sensitively, and after repeated questioning, Yuan Jiafu finally admitted that he was the driver who caused the accident. Xie Zhiyun didn't cry or curse, but said calmly: "My daughter and I will never forgive you for the rest of our lives. Don't run away just to seek peace of mind. Even if you go to Nanyang, we will not forgive you. They will also report to the police to have you extradited.” Yuan Jiafu said: "Mr. Xie, I was also forced to do such a thing. My wife has leukemia, and the hospital in Shanghai said she could have an operation, but I have no money. They gave me a lot of money and asked me to drive to the hospital. Talk about the master. I will never feel at ease in this life... Now my wife is dead, all because I took such unconscionable money... I really shouldn't do this kind of thing... Is there any money for my wife's medical treatment? I have already remitted it to you from the post office after spending it, I don’t ask you to forgive me, I’m a sinner anyway.” Xie Zhiyun repeatedly asked who asked him to drive into Tan Shaohua on purpose, and Yuan Jiafu said: "Mr. Xie, don't ask, I won't tell. He gave me the money, and I spent it all in the hospital. My wife is not cured, so I shouldn't take the money. In short, Master Tan is a good man, he was killed by the formula he managed. People want that formula, and they think he is in the way!" Before Xie Zhiyun could say anything else, Yuan Jiafu hung up the phone.Xie Zhiyun wrote in his diary that day: "I must investigate, Shaohua can't die without knowing why." Xie Zhiyun thought about calling the police, but at that time she didn't even know Yuan Jiafu's name, so she walked to the gate of the police station and came back.A few days later, I did receive a remittance from Yuan Jiafu to a post office in Quanzhou.Xie Zhiyun went to the traffic police brigade and told the traffic police all about it.In the traffic accident case a few years ago, the driver who caused the accident was never found. The traffic police also paid great attention to it. After investigating for a long time, they even sent people to Quanzhou, but Yuan Jiafu was still not found in the end.The police told Xie Zhiyun that the person who sent the money might have used a fake name. At that time, household registration management was very loose, and no ID card was required to send money at the post office, and there was no surveillance such as cameras.The case was lost again and was shelved.Xie Zhiyun herself did not give up. She began to inquire about the situation of the third beverage factory where her husband worked before his death. Now this beverage factory has become a fashionable beverage company. The deputy factory manager raised all the return funds, mobilized some workers to raise funds, and bought the third beverage factory with collective funds. The Hong Kong businessman had spent huge sums of money to obtain the secret formula of the third old factory. After the purchase of the factory was blocked, the Hong Kong businessman simply found another place to build a new beverage factory and began to produce health drinks according to the formula.The deputy factory director who took the lead in raising funds to buy the old third factory, used the factory buildings and workers of the old third factory to start the production of new drinks.The competition between the two parties was fierce, and several lawsuits were filed for the registered trademark of the beverage. The deputy factory director who led people to raise funds was called Nie Dongyuan. What really caused Xie Zhiyun to be suspicious of Nie Dongyuan was the several lawsuits between Nie Dongyuan and Hong Kong businessmen.Hong Kong businessmen feel that Nie Dongyuan's re-produced health drink is very similar to the secret formula drink they bought with a huge sum of money in terms of taste and function, so they suspect that Nie Dongyuan used his position to obtain the secret formula.However, the original confidential formula management is very strict, only the factory manager, the secretary, and the formula manager of the technical department know about it.The secretary has retired, and he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage. His time is running out, and he is just spending time in the hospital.It turned out that the director of the third old factory had been poached by a Hong Kong businessman long ago to work in a Hong Kong business company. With a very high salary at that time, it was unlikely that he would leak secrets.The recipe manager was Tan Shaohua, who died in a car accident before the acquisition, and only the secretary and the factory manager had the key to the safe after that. The Hong Kong businessman once suspected that the old secretary who was seriously ill had leaked the secret, but because there was no evidence, the matter was dropped.Nie Dongyuan's beverage company continued to use the trademark left by Huaqiao, and at the same time began to produce very fashionable mineral water, and gradually occupied more and more market shares in the rapidly emerging beverage fast-moving consumer market. Nie Dongyuan's real journey to become a rich man began when he completed the equity repurchase of all fund-raising workers.At that time, when he wanted to raise funds to save the factory, most people thought it was a joke. Those who were capable in the factory had already found other ways and were transferred to better units, and those who were not capable also went out to work one after another. People participated in fundraising, and each family raised thousands of dollars.At that time, a few thousand yuan was a huge sum of money for a family.There are not many families who can afford this amount of money, but the benefits of the factory are getting better and better, and more and more people who raised funds are getting dividends, and they are unwilling to withdraw their shares. The two forces finally returned all the funds raised by paying only a small amount of interest to those fundraisers, and officially changed the name of the beverage company to "Dongyuan Beverage Co., Ltd."Almost all the workers who participated in the fundraising were dismissed, because Nie Dongyuan made a drastic move, changed to a more advanced production line, and replaced a large number of operators.So it turned out that whenever the workers of the third old factory mentioned Nie Dongyuan, they would spit on the ground, saying that he bought the collective factory for a small amount of money. He was so cruel that he drove out all the people in the old factory. This is Nie Dongyuan's first company and also his first pot of gold.Later, Nie Dongyuan was out of control and became a famous private entrepreneur in the FMCG industry, especially in the beverage industry. Xie Zhiyun found out that Nie Dongyuan wanted to find a piano teacher for his son, so he asked someone to introduce him and went for an interview.Nie Dongyuan knew nothing about the piano, and his business was booming, so he was too busy to take care of his family.I only saw that Xie Zhiyun was gentle and honest, he was very kind to his son, and his son seemed to like this piano teacher very much, so he hired her for a long time. Xie Zhiyun came to Nie's house to teach piano, and her motivation was not pure. In every diary since then, she almost mentioned Nie Dongyuan.She tried her best to find out whether Nie Dongyuan was the mastermind behind the murder, but Nie Dongyuan was very busy, and she rarely had the opportunity to get in touch with him. In the few limited contacts, Xie Zhiyun used one word to describe Nie Dongyuan: unfathomable.Xie Zhiyun was careful everywhere in Nie's house, lest she would reveal any flaws. Fortunately, Nie Yucheng, who had the most contact with her, liked her very much.Nie Dongyuan is very fond of this son, so he is also very polite to her, and will give extra red envelopes during the holidays, lest she will not do her best to teach her son how to learn the piano. After a long time, Xie Zhiyun also lost confidence in the pursuit of this matter.She suggested to Nie Dongyuan that Nie Yusheng has already learned the piano well, and if he wants to improve further, he needs the guidance of a famous teacher. It is best to ask a professor of the music department in the provincial capital to teach him, so that he can retire after success.Xie Zhiyun backed out for the first time because Nie Yucheng was kind and lovely, and she felt that she should not selfishly delay this child's piano learning. Nie Dongyuan happened to be negotiating in Germany, introducing new equipment, and was very busy. He heard his son call internationally and said that Mr. Xie didn’t want to do it anymore. Having a reliable piano teacher to let your son learn piano obediently is the most important thing to keep the family stable.He flew back from Germany in a hurry, even before the time difference, he asked Xie Zhiyun for a long talk. Xie Zhiyun recorded very little of the conversation that day in his diary, only writing that Nie Dongyuan was so sleepy that he fell asleep in the middle of the conversation. Xie Zhiyun continued to teach Nie Yusheng the piano, three lessons a week.At this time, the school has changed to weekends. She will accompany Nie Yusheng to the provincial capital every Friday night. She helps to contact a professor at the Conservatory of Music. The professor will give Nie Yusheng one-on-one tutoring every weekend. Then she is responsible for reviewing and consolidating.Nie Dongyuan didn't worry about anything else except the cost. To thank her, Nie Dongyuan gave her the first gift. Xie Zhiyun didn't mention what the gift was, but she returned it, and Nie Dongyuan sealed a red envelope for her again, which she accepted. About three months later, Nie Dongyuan asked her out for dinner alone for the first time. Xie Zhiyun hesitated, but finally went to the appointment. The relationship between the two is not close, Xie Zhiyun has an extremely complicated attitude towards Nie Dongyuan.Nie Dongyuan is undoubtedly a very attractive man. The success of his career has given him a kind of self-confidence, and he feels that everything should be at his fingertips.Xie Zhiyun's hesitation and rejection seemed to arouse his desire to challenge, and he frequently created some opportunities to be alone, which made Xie Zhiyun feel embarrassed.On the one hand, Xie Zhiyun wanted to maintain this kind of relationship. The death of her husband is still a mystery, and perhaps the answer lies in Nie Dongyuan's heart; on the other hand, Xie Zhiyun felt that Nie Dongyuan was very dangerous. She used the word "dangerous" to describe Nie Dongyuan, not something else. Xie Zhiyun continued to procrastinate in the conflict, Nie Dongyuan suddenly changed his strategy, he dated a new girlfriend, Xie Zhiyun was relieved in the conflict.She instinctively felt that Nie Dongyuan's pursuit was a dangerous act, and now this deadly danger was far away.But Nie Yucheng found out about Nie Dongyuan's new girlfriend, so he kept a straight face for a whole week, not giving his father a good look. On Friday, Xie Zhiyun went to Nie's house, but Nie Yucheng disappeared.He told the nanny to go to a classmate's house to pick up his homework, and the driver took him there. He waited downstairs at the classmate's house for a long time, but Nie Yucheng did not come down.The driver was in a hurry, and went upstairs to see that Nie Yucheng didn't go up at all. There was a back door in this apartment building, so he might have just left through the back door. Both the nanny and the driver were in a panic and called Nie Dongyuan. He was discussing a new cooperation project in Taiwan.Reported to the police, because the disappearance has not exceeded 24 hours, so there is no way to file a case.The nanny at home called all of Nie Yucheng's classmates, but Xie Zhiyun's heart suddenly moved, and he went to the cemetery with a flashlight. In the end, it was Nie Yucheng who was found in front of Nie Yucheng's mother's tombstone. Xie Zhiyun walked in the cemetery with a flashlight, one foot deep and one foot shallow. , almost fainted.Nie Yucheng fell asleep in front of the tombstone. When she woke her up, she was still in a daze and said, "Mom, why did you come here..." One sentence made Xie Zhiyun so sad that he was about to cry. The child was sleeping alone in front of his mother's tombstone. Anyone who saw this scene would feel distressed.What's more, she pulls her daughter by herself, and the heart of being a parent is always the same.No matter what grievances and grievances the adults have, children are always innocent.她带着聂宇晟回家，也没有责备他，让他好好洗澡，让保姆给他温了牛奶，看着他喝了睡下，才打电话给音乐学院的教授，取消第二天的课程。 第二天才赶回来的聂东远非常感激谢知云，但是谢知云却坚决辞职不干了。她觉得哪怕聂东远真是杀害自己丈夫的背后主谋，自己一直利用聂宇晟的信任，也太不应当，所以她坚持要离开聂家。两个人彻底谈崩了，谢知云一个人走下山，聂东远开着车追上来。 他说：“知云，我错了，不是我儿子离不开你，是我离不开你。” 谢知云在日记里写：“我愣了好几分钟，说：'你不是有女朋友了吗？'他说：'我以为你会觉得嫉妒，会对我好一点儿，结果你反而要离开我。'我又愣了半天，最后没有理他，掉头就继续往山下走，他把车停在那里，跟在我后面，一直跟着我走到山下的公汽站。我上了公交车，还看到他站在公交站牌那里，绝望一样看着我。” 后来好长一段时间，谢知云在日记里没有再提到聂东远，她记载着日常的柴米油盐，还有女儿的成长……谈静看到这里的时候，以为事情已经结束了，当时的谢知云，可能也是这样认为的吧。 过了很久之后，聂东远央求谢知云回去教儿子学琴，因为聂宇晟难得信任一个人，而他信任谢知云。聂宇晟正好是叛逆期，家里的保姆都管不住他，只有谢知云的意见，他一向肯听。起初谢知云拒绝了，但是聂东远知道谈静很有希望考上重点中学十四中，那所学校是全寄宿制，费用特别高，而那时候谢知云工作的学校连工资都没法正常发放。他知道谢知云需要攒钱供女儿读书，所以一边开出了高价，一边向谢知云保证，自己绝对不再有任何非分之想，只是请她回去教聂宇晟。 在聂东远的保证和游说之下，谢知云开始继续去聂家给聂宇晟上课。聂东远遵守诺言，跟谢知云保持距离，他工作很忙，刻意避开谢知云的话，谢知云就完全见不到他。聂宇晟生日的时候，两个人才重新见面。聂宇晟坚持要请谢老师吃大餐，所以他们三个人一起去当时最豪华的五星级酒店的旋转餐厅吃饭，聂东远喝的是红酒，谢知云跟聂宇晟喝的则是东远饮料公司出的那款知名保健饮料。 谢知云喝这款饮料的时候，心情当然很复杂。聂东远兴致很高，儿子乖乖听话，谢知云又在身边，所以他喝了不少红酒。他开始讲述自己白手起家的过程，包括当年怎么样跟港商斗智斗勇，因为一开始当地政府和主管部门，是非常支持港商收购老三厂的。他突然站出来领着人集资救厂的时候，据说主管部门的领导是用“瞎胡闹”三个字来评价的。 “可是你看，我把厂子办得红红火火的，饮料一天比一天好卖。新引进的生产线生产矿泉水，我们花了大价钱在电视台最好的时间做广告，最开始的时候，全厂的人都反对，说我拿那么多钱去电视台做广告，简直是疯了。连管生产的副厂长老徐也跟我唱反调，说我这样搞法，一个月内资金链就会断掉的。可是广告播出之后，男女老幼都能哼哼几句我们的广告歌……哇，那一年矿泉水卖得，大街小巷，全都是我们的产品。提货的大货车排队排得足足三条街，所有生产线全部开动，库存也永远是零，到处都是订单，根本就生产不过来。这时候就有太多人眼红了，厂子成了他们眼里的肥肉，谁都想要来咬一口……” 聂宇晟不满意了，拿刀子一边切着牛排，一边嘀咕：“你就会说你的饮料……” “没饮料有你今天的好日子吗？”聂东远喝了酒，眼睛却亮得惊人，揉了揉儿子的短发，溺爱地说，“爸爸挣钱，都是为了你。” “你看谢老师都听烦了，谁耐烦听你的饮料……” 聂东远觉得谢知云确实有点心不在焉，尤其是在喝饮料的时候，他怕儿子看出什么来，所以很客气地问谢知云：“谢老师喜欢喝这种饮料吗？” 谢知云掩饰地说：“味道挺好的，有点像原来老三厂的那种。” 聂东远很得意，他小声说：“告诉你个秘密，这个饮料的配方，就是原来老三厂的那种。” 这句话对谢知云而言，不啻晴天霹雳，她当时完全愣住了，觉得所有的血都往头上涌，心跳得特别厉害，连手也发抖。 因为谢知云突然的不舒服，这顿饭就只吃了一半。聂东远打电话让司机来把聂宇晟接回去，他自己开车送谢知云去医院。急诊的医生没诊断出什么异常，认为谢知云只是有些贫血，而谢知云自己担心聂东远发现什么，所以坚持不肯做全套检查，也坚持不肯留在观察室里。聂东远于是开车送她回家。 回家的路上，经过海滩旁新修的一段公路，那里非常偏远冷僻，很少有经过的行人和车辆。聂东远或许是心血来潮，或许是蓄谋已久，他把车开下了公路，冲到了海滩上。 谢知云在日记里关于海滩上发生的事情的记载是空白，过了一周后她才轻描淡写地写道聂东远为了向她道歉，在香港买了一套房子，据说是想要送给她，被她拒绝了。 此后谢知云的日记只有一个主题，那就是复仇。她想过很多方式，觉得都不太痛快。聂东远很喜欢她，她却拿不准这种喜欢是真心，还是觉得一时的征服欲得到了满足。所以她对聂东远永远是若即若离，她对聂东远的憎恶里夹杂着对自己奇怪的怨恨，这个人八成是杀害自己丈夫的真凶，她却跟他周旋，对一个思想传统的女性而言，这种负担太沉重了。 她第一次心脏病发，是在聂家。聂宇晟把她送进了医院，那时候，也是谈静第一次见到聂宇晟。 她有很多事情瞒着女儿，对于谈静跟聂宇晟的接近，她没有太过于阻止。聂东远生性狡诈多疑，而且谈静还小，谢知云觉得女儿与聂宇晟的相识是偶然，她压根都不曾想过，女儿会跟聂宇晟有什么特别的交往。再加上，她是真心喜欢聂宇晟这孩子，她觉得他聪明又懂事，而且幼年丧母，非常可怜。 在矛盾中，聂东远带她去了一次香港，就在香港，他很坦白地对她说，他不太可能跟她结婚，但是物质上，他会尽量满足她。从香港回来后，谢知云就不接聂东远的电话，而且辞掉了聂家的那份兼职。 很长一段时间里，聂东远都表现得不以为然，他认为谢知云这种做法可能是逼婚。他于是告诉谢知云，以前也有女人干过这种蠢事，下场就是他当机立断结束这段关系。谢知云没有理会他，甚至将他的所有联络视为骚扰，这才令聂东远困惑起来，或许是那习惯了呼风唤雨说一不二的自尊心作祟，他频频地要求跟谢知云再谈一次，都被谢知云拒绝。有一次半夜，他甚至冒险到了谢家的楼下才给谢知云打电话，那天正好是周日，谈静没住校在家里，谢知云怕惊动女儿，找了个缘故下楼去，聂东远这才得到了一次跟谢知云谈话的机会。 这次谈话仍旧是在空无一人的海滩上，谢知云不堪聂东远的纠缠，向他坦白。自己的丈夫是保管老三厂饮料配方的技术员，她之所以到聂家教钢琴，起初也没安什么好心，不管他是不是当年主使袁家福肇事的那个人，她都不打算再跟他有任何瓜葛了。 谢知云关于这次谈话的记录非常详细，连对聂东远的神态描写都栩栩如生。聂东远当时冷笑了一声，说：“是啊，我就是当年为了配方杀掉你丈夫的人。你没安什么好心，我就更没安什么好心了，你以为我真的喜欢你吗？我就是玩玩你罢了。就你这么蠢的女人，丈夫被人害死，你自己还被我白玩这么久，你能奈我何？” 说完这些话，聂东远就驾着车扬长而去，把谢知云一个人留在了深夜的海滩上。 谢知云那天晚上是一个人走回去的，谁也不知道她一个人在公路上走了有多久。在最后一篇日记里，她写道：“我确实是一个愚蠢的女人，才会做出这么愚蠢的事情。我真的没有颜面再活在这个世上。” 没过几个月，她就因为心脏病死在了课堂上。 谈静后来发现，母亲没有按医嘱服用任何治疗的药物，也没有按医嘱随身携带任何急救药物，她几乎可以算是自杀。
