When Yin Chang came back from Kenya, it was Yao Manhuai who picked him up in person.
In the evening, Yao Manhuai helped Yin Chang clean up and took him to a private restaurant for dinner.
"Your father and I used to come to this place often," Yao Manhuai handed Yin Chang the exquisite menu without the price tag, and said softly, "Look, what do you want to eat, Aunt Yao treats you today."
Yin Chang politely pushed the menu back: "Ladies first, you can order for me, I'm not picky."
Yao Manhuai chose a few dishes, while opening the topic: "Have you gained anything this time?"
The "harvest" Yao Manhuai asked was psychological, and Yin Chang answered materially. He said, "I can't provide father's relics and wreckage over there. I brought back some soil from the accident site."
Yao Manhuai nodded and said: "On the day of the memorial service, there will be many celebrities and media present. It just so happens that I will help you pick out an exquisite box for storage later, and put it on the altar for people to commemorate and mourn."
Yin Chang: "Okay." Yao Manhuai had already told him about the memorial service on the phone.
Yao Manhuai ordered a bottle of dry white wine, which was quite strong, and poured a small glass for him after consulting Yin Chang's wishes.
"Aside from bringing back some soil, do you have any other feelings?" She asked meaningfully, "I saw a video of fans singing to you at the airport over there on the Internet."
"...very touching." Indeed, this trip changed Yin Chang's attitude towards the media and fans.
He also saw the news on the Internet—Yin Chang didn’t know that Yao Manhuai carefully planned and arranged many things, and he just thought that some all-pervasive reporters accompanied them and secretly photographed them—but he felt that the content of these news was rigorous and true, not like that day He was deeply offended by the paparazzi at the airport at night.
In addition, Lu Lingjuan also guided him to read some comments on Weibo, and the support and blessings of netizens gave him great comfort.
On the night he came back from the crash site, Yin Chang lay in bed with insomnia. He downloaded Weibo on his mobile phone, registered an account, searched for relevant news, and read netizens' comments one by one.
Some people say that they have liked Yin Dong for many years, and now that Yin Dong has passed away, they should be in the same mood as him at the moment, and hope that they can work together to get through it;
Some people said that they felt sorry for him when they saw the photos of him at the accident site, and they have been praying for him, hoping that he can get better as soon as possible;
Some people also said that they hoped that he could come to the stage and give them the opportunity to continue to love him for Yin Dong.
Those undisguised confessions seemed to fill his heartache unconsciously, and he could fall asleep just watching it.
When the food came, the two chatted while eating.
Yao Manhuai asked again: "Where's Xiao Lu? Did she take good care of you?"
Yin Chang: "She's fine."
This compliment was sincere, and he enjoyed Lu Lingjuan's meticulous care along the way.
Carrying a bag and buying water is still a trivial matter, and this girl can also take care of major matters alone. For example, the night Yin Chang first arrived in Kenya, he was infected by fans at the airport and felt restless. his board and lodging.
Moreover, Yin Chang always feels that this girl can read minds, she will show up in time when he needs it, and ask for his care; when he doesn't want to be disturbed, she is like a quiet shadow.
She chatted with him, answered his doubts, and told him jokes. Her positivity and sincerity infected Yin Chang a little bit, making Yin Chang feel that with her around, he didn't need to worry about complicated foreign affairs.
…
For a moment or two, Yin Chang felt that Lu Lingjuan was like another version of Yao Manhuai.
After listening to Yin Chang's report, Yao Manhuai smiled and said, "Don't underestimate her, she has a double master's degree, majoring in psychology and human relations."
Yin Chang was surprised: "So powerful?"
Yao Manhuai smiled: "I don't hire useless people."
Yin Chang couldn't help but sigh with emotion that "a person should not be judged by his appearance".
In the next few days, Yao Manhuai has been busy preparing for Yin Dong's memorial service.
Yin Chang also received a call from Lawyer Wang and learned that Yin Dong's death certificate had come out. Yin Chang began to handle a series of inheritance related matters such as fund transfer and equity change.
The moment Yin Chang signed his name on those documents, Yin Chang felt a heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
It was not until two days before the memorial service that Yin Chang saw Yao Manhuai again.
Yao Manhuai went to see him in the Huaihe apartment in person, and brought him a golden nanmu box by the way.
"This is a director who asked me to forward it. His name is Qin An, and he was a good friend of your father's life."
He had heard of Qin An's name. This director was well-known in the international film industry, so the things he gave must be of great value.
The lid of the golden silk nanmu box is exquisitely embossed, and a string of small characters in italics are engraved on the bottom: "Take the heaven and the earth as the coffin, the sun and the moon as the wall, the stars as pearls, and everything as a gift."
Yin Chang carefully put the soil he brought back from the accident site into it, and closed the lid silently.
On the day of the memorial service, Lu Lingjuan arrived at Yin Chang's Huaihe apartment ahead of schedule, and specially came to give him clothes.
Most of Yin Chang's private servers are abroad, and he didn't bring a suitable dress for the venue when he came back this time. This suit was tailor-made for him urgently by Yao Manhuai.
After changing clothes in the inner room, Yin Chang walked out while adjusting the tightness of the collar of his shirt. He is confident enough in his appearance that he never asks others' opinions when he changes his clothes. Walking in front of Lu Lingjuan, he took the white flower from the opponent's hand and inserted it into the watch pocket of his chest. This appearance alone shone brighter than those male stars who had carefully put on makeup.
Because he was going to hold his father's memorial service, Yin Chang was in a heavy mood today, and he was serious. After getting dressed, he whispered: "Okay, let's go."
After getting into the car, Lu Lingjuan took out another piece of printing paper from her bag and handed it to Yin Chang: "You can read this speech first."
Yao Manhuai told Lu Lingjuan that Yin Chang would also give a speech tonight, and asked her to draw up a speech.
Yin Chang looked at it and asked, "You wrote it?"
Lu Lingjuan said: "Well, I wrote it from your point of view. If there is any wording that you think is not suitable, tell me now, we can still modify it."
"Thank you, there is no need to change it." In fact, Yin Chang planned to write it himself, but Yao Manhuai told him that the speech on this kind of occasion is often more formal than connotative, so he gave up.
When he arrived at the Huaxing Hotel, Yang Jiajia was checking the final details with the design team who arranged the venue.
The entire memorial venue is divided into two halls, the main hall for the memorial ceremony, and the auxiliary hall for everyone to communicate, rest and enjoy a simple buffet dinner after the memorial service.
Yin Chang entered the main hall, and saw that Yin Dong's photo and the golden nanmu box had been placed on the main altar directly in front of him, surrounded by tens of thousands of fresh white roses, layered on top of each other, extending to the edge of the wall It is also full of wreaths sent by Yin Dong's former business partners and celebrity friends.
Behind the Lingtai is a curved LED screen about three meters high and five meters long. The planning team collected all the movies and TV shows that Yin Dong participated in during his lifetime, carefully edited them in chronological order, and played them in a silent loop on it.
In addition, the venue also used holographic projection equipment, projecting countless pieces of white feathers in the air, spinning and falling from top to bottom, and turning into light dust and slowly dissipating during the landing process. The background music is the piano memorial song "Scar of the Sky" played with Dolby sound effects - this is an episode of a TV series that Yin Dong once participated in. The positive role he played also sacrificed fearlessly in that TV series, which moved countless fans of the TV series. bosom. So when this song is played, the pure sound of the piano that seems to come from the depths of heaven can make everyone who enters the main hall think of Yin Dong instantly.
At the other corner of the venue, Yao Manhuai, who was dressed in black, had also arrived. She was confirming the process with the host of the night.
Seeing Yin Chang, Yao Manhuai waved his hand and called him over: "Xiao Chang, let's get acquainted. This is Li Yanqun, the host of Shining Star TV. Uncle Li is also your father's friend during his lifetime. Today's memorial service will be hosted by him."
"Hello, Uncle Li." Yin Chang reached out to shake his hand politely.
When Li Yanqun saw Yin Chang, his eyes were amazed, he sighed secretly about Yin Chang's appearance, and then expressed his regret for the death of his old friend, and then said: "I heard your father mentioned you several times, I didn't expect that we would be here We will meet on other occasions. Your father is gone, and we will be your elders and relatives from now on. If you need help, please feel free to ask your uncle."
Yin Chang sincerely thanked him.
There was only one hour left before the memorial service, and various celebrities and media began to arrive one after another. Yao Manhuai was afraid that they would all come to greet Yin Chang after seeing him, which would consume too much of his energy, so she asked Lu Lingjuan to take him to the ear room for a rest.
At 7:45 in the evening, the main hall of the venue was already full of celebrities and all seats were packed.
To express respect for the deceased, photography and video recording were prohibited at the scene, and everyone was dressed in plain clothes, waiting for the memorial service to begin in a low voice.
Five minutes before the opening, Yin Changcai came out accompanied by Yao Manhuai and Lu Lingjuan. He felt that the audience was silent, as if everyone's eyes were focused on him at that moment.
When he took his seat in the center of the first row, Yin Chang was still a little stiff all over.
At eight o'clock, the memorial service officially began. The host Li Yanqun stood on the stage with a solemn face, and said in a deep and sad voice: "Everyone, thank you for coming to Mr. Yin Dong's memorial service. On X. 17, 20XX, Yin Dong Dong died of a plane crash on the way to Kenya, and left us and this world forever... Today, we specially hold a farewell ceremony here to express our condolences... "
