Early in the morning, more and more representatives of European countries, large companies, and groups hurried to the church to see Yannick for the last time.

Jonas has been busy with his guests, and has no time to spare.

Kostler hurried over. "Jonas, Stephanie is here. ”

Jonas was stunned for a moment, and saw Philip at the door walking in with a middle-aged man talking and walking, followed by Stephanie in a black coat and holding a bouquet of white roses in her hand.

This is the girl Jonas once loved, a poor man who was uninhibited by nature, but who was deeply involved in the turmoil of his mother's death.

In a way, the turmoil she had experienced was far greater than the turmoil of Yannick's death.

Entering the sanctuary, the bishop drips holy water on them, and at this time, Stephanie walks ahead and presents Yannick with flowers in the graceful gesture of a princess.

Then, she stood in front of Jonas, who wanted to salute, but she smiled and hugged Jonas with open arms. "I've been through dark times like this before, Jonas, and life goes on. ”

The love he once had long since vanished, and Jonas didn't know what attitude to face him with for a while.

Feeling the aroma she brought, Jonas replied with only one word. "Thank you for coming. ”

On the other side, knowing Stephanie's identity, countless pairs of eyes were on them.

Hannah is concerned, Nicole is tsundere, Balm is calm, Neuer is jealous, and the others are curious.

To the disappointment of many, in front of Yannick's coffin, there was no love-hate parting.

No matter how much hatred, contradictions, love, at least in public, it is necessary to speak of decency.

At nine o'clock sharp, the funeral rite began, with the town's elder Muller officiating and Bishop Hamm presiding over the ceremony.

Müller the Elder welcomed the guests on behalf of the Hoffmann family, and Bishop Hamm began to read the Word of God.

This ceremony did not last long, and then entered the liturgy of the Holy Sacrament, with Bishop Hamm presiding over the sacrament of thanksgiving.

At about half past nine, the final farewell service is held, which is the final farewell of the deceased by the Christian community and the relatives and friends of the deceased before the burial of the deceased.

Jonas and his relatives were the first to say goodbye around the coffin, and in the course of more than half an hour, Jonas has been playing and singing the tune of "seeyuagain" "Father" on the spot, which also made the guests who came to watch the ceremony sigh.

After the bishop's funeral ceremony, two horses led Yannick's coffin slowly towards the cemetery on the western hillside.

Jonas walked at the head of the procession, holding a picture of Yannick, with friends and family lined up in order of proximity, and most of the guests just watched on both sides of the road.

The cemetery is located next to the hilltop forest and overlooks the whole town, and the scenery is very beautiful.

When Yannick's coffin was buried next to Grandpa Jonas's grave, it was turned into a flower garden.

Graves in Switzerland are flat, some are paved with marble, but most are covered with earth and planted with flowers.

When Hannah arrived at the cemetery, she sat in front of Grandpa Jonas's tombstone, bowing her head and weeping.

In just a few years, she lost her husband and eldest son in a row, which was definitely a heavy blow to her.

However, she will not cry without scruples in front of outsiders, and in this life, she will not show her weak side.

"Jonas, can we talk?" Stephanie looked at Nicole carefully and sighed, "What a beautiful little beauty, I knew there would be no shortage of beautiful women around you." ”

Nicole smiled reservedly and greeted slightly. "You're beautiful too. ”

"Are you going to leave now?" asked Jonas.

She nodded. "Anyway, we once loved vigorously, will we still be friends in the future?"

"Of course, as long as you want. ”

She nodded. "Well, let's have a chance to talk about it later, it's not suitable today. ”

The two hugged softly and then said goodbye. Seeing Stephanie leave the cemetery without looking back, Nicole couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "She's full of charm. ”

Jonas smiled and sighed, "It's already in the past. ”

Many of the guests left without lunch, leaving behind guests who had come remotely or who wanted to expand their social network.

These guests were received by Philip and Jacob, and Jonas did not attend the luncheon, but accompanied his grandmother in the cemetery and planted a bouquet of flowers with his own hands.

In addition to Jonas, Hannah, Emile, and Catherine all planted flowers. It's November, Switzerland is about to enter its coldest season, and these flowers may not survive.

But there is a large greenhouse in his home, and there is no shortage of flowers on the grave all year round.

"Grandma, let's go home, we'll come back to see Daddy tomorrow." ”

Hannah got up, washed her hands in the small bucket next to her, straightened up and said, "The banquet in the hotel should also be dispersed, let's go back, and some things should be settled." ”

Her eyes swept over Catherine and Nicole. "Come along, too. ”

Plov drove the Volkswagen, and Jonas drove the Rolls-Royce, which Yannick had left behind, and drove the crowd home.

As soon as he entered the house, the emir went into the kitchen. "You rest for a while, I'll make a mushroom soup, and I still have bread at home, so I'll take care of it first." ”

Nicole looked at Jonas, who nodded and walked to the kitchen. "Aunt Emir, I'll help you. ”

After a simple lunch, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, Philip and Yankel, who were in charge of hospitality at the hotel, all returned.

Osberg also came, but Hannah told him to go back to the bank to get Yannick's will that he had left in the bank safe, and told him to come back in the evening.

Everyone sat in the large living room on the second floor, Joseph and they were all very well-behaved today, and little Hannah did not make a fuss, and when she came back, she sat next to her mother.

Hannah never spoke, but it was Vera's aunt who took the lead in saying: "Although the Hoffman family is not a deep-rooted family, we have been able to maintain family unity and stability in the past three hundred years.

Yannick's sudden departure was a huge blow to us, but life still has to look forward.

I was born in the Lucerne Hoffmann family and married into the Basel Hoffmann family, and I was able to be the master of both families.

Yannick is gone to us forever, and the legacy and debts that Yannick left behind, we need to make further confirmation.

As for the division of family responsibilities in the future, today's family meeting is before Yannick's lawyer arrives, and I hope to reach a consensus within the family.

Sister-in-law, what do you have to say?"

Hannah took a deep breath and looked her eyes in front of her children and grandchildren before she spoke: "Private banking, as the foundation of the family, belongs to the whole family, and this point, no matter at any time, there is no need to question this.

At present, the private bank, under the development of Yannick, has maintained an annual income of 10 million in recent years, half of which, that is, about 5 million Swiss francs, is distributed by all our members according to three levels, and whoever has doubts about the income can check the accounts. ”

Philip said at this time: "Sister-in-law, in the past, Basel Hoffmann has always received annuities, but the contribution to Hoffmann Bank is limited, and now the development momentum of the pharmaceutical group is good, I discussed with Vera and wanted to invest another 100 million principal into the bank operation."

Of course, we don't ask for shares, we don't ask for management, we just want to make a small contribution to the family. ”

Half of Hoffman's earnings are to be distributed equally, but there are differences in averages.

Like Hannah, Vera, Philip, they are currently in the first generation, and they have about half a million Swiss francs a year in annuities.

Yannick, Vera's eldest son Andrei, including Yankel, Jacob them, about three hundred thousand a year.

Their spouses and children, including Jonas, belong to the third class and have an annuity of about 100,000 per year.

Of course, until the age of eighteen, they themselves have no power to spend, like Jonas, whose previous annuities were all with Yannick, and from this year onwards, they will be directly distributed to him.

In the future, the annuity will only be increased if you have a family and have children, or if you have contributed to the family.

This time, Philippe put 100 million Swiss francs into a private bank, and according to the average five-year rate of return of the private bank, the family's annuity will double every year.

"But ......," Philip said after a pause, "I hope that the business model of private banking will not change arbitrarily, and I still support Hannah in charge of private banking." ”

This is a direct plug to Yankel's words yesterday......

Philip looked at Yankel and said, "Yankel, you are a lawyer, and you are doing a good job at the United Nations, and it is said that Jacob has also obtained a lot of business because of your connections. So why don't you commit to politics as a leader?"

Yankel was silent for a moment before asking, "Uncle Philip, don't you think I can be a qualified banker?"

Philip comforted him and said, "I know that you have been competing with Yannick since you were a child, and you never think that you are inferior to him, but the merits of the two of you are not in one area. ”

Hannah opened her mouth and said: "Yankel, you are also my child, don't I know you? You are more stable than Yannick, but in business it is indecisive, and I have always expected you to be a qualified politician, not a banker." ”

Yankel had already figured it out in the past few days, and said: "If this is everyone's decision, I will follow it." ”

Hannah nodded, looked at Catherine and said, "Catherine, you and Yannick have not been able to become husband and wife, it is the regret of our Hoffman family, Yannick bought luxury goods for the engagement, including diamond rings, I hope to give you as a souvenir."

He once told me that he wanted to buy a house in London as a new house for your permanent stay, and the house has been completed, and I will transfer it to your name. ”
