Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"Oh." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was devoid of emotion. "It was my sister who contacted him."

"Yes." Yui Yuigahama looked at Dong Yunshan, "After all, she's Yukino's older sister... Since it's just a normal business collaboration, it would be good to mention her a little."

"It's probably just a tacit understanding." Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "I didn't mention it, and neither did Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai. If Iwamoto -senpai had known it would turn out this way, he probably wouldn't have brought it up either."

Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Komachi Hikigaya: "How is this any different from concealing something?"

Don't look at me like that... Komachi Hikigaya looked helplessly at Dong Yunshan: "This seems to be no different from hiding it."

"The difference is that one didn't ask or mention it, while the other asked but didn't say anything," Dong Yunshan pointed out the key point. "From beginning to end, I didn't hide anything from anyone, otherwise there wouldn't have been those unfounded rumors."

"It seems so..." Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, "They're spreading rumors about each other, they definitely aren't hiding it from anyone—something seems off..."

"Your feeling is correct." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Yui Yuigahama. "He kept emphasizing that objectively no one asked, so he didn't mention it, but he didn't say whether he subjectively intended to hide it."

"It really is..." Yui Yuigahama Dong Yunshan recalled what Dong Yunshan had just said, casting a worried look at him. "Yunshan, so you're thinking of keeping it from Little Yukino? But... why? Why do you have to keep it from Little Yukino?"

"Haven't you realized it yet?" Dong Yunshan spread his hands. "That's the reason."

"To treat the result of concealment as the reason for concealment," Yukino Yukinoshita said expressionlessly. "That's putting cause and effect backwards."

"Really?" Dong Yunshan scoffed. "Alright, I'd like to open a shop with your sister. Give me some advice."

"No!" Yukino Yukinoshita's icy gaze pierced Dong Yunshan. "You can't open a shop with her!"

"So, you see..." Dong Yunshan turned her gaze to Yui Yuigahama, "It turns out, I wasn't putting the cause in the effect; the effect is the effect, and the cause is the cause."

Chapter 298 A Terrible Result

"So..." Komachi Hikigaya seized on the key point, "Regardless of whether Yunshan is hiding it or not, Yukino, you will still stop him from cooperating with Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai?"

Dong Yunshan took the drink from Saki Kawasaki: "The answer to the question is already obvious."

"But..." Yui Yuigahama didn't understand, "Little Yukino, why don't you want Yunshan and Sister Haruno to work together? Wouldn't that be great?"

"First published on 705u. com - Book Club"

Yukino Yukinoshita took the drink from Saki Kawasaki: "Why don't we ask him why he's cooperating with her?"

Komachi Hikigaya looked at Dong Yunshan: "Why?"

Dong Yunshan picked up his drink, about to take a sip, but put it down again upon hearing the question, "The food industry involves a lot of complexities. I need a young partner who has advantages in handling various procedures, connections in the construction industry to facilitate site selection and decoration, ample funds, and an open-minded approach—and someone who meets these criteria has proactively approached me for cooperation. Why shouldn't I cooperate?"

Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino Yukinoshita: "Why?"

Yukino Yukinoshita put down her unfinished drink. "When you need a partner who meets all your requirements, don't you even have the most basic sense of caution?"

"That's quite a coincidence. Should we be more cautious...? Eh?" Komachi Hikigaya's gaze, which was about to turn to Higashi Dong Yunshan, returned to Yukino Yukinoshita. "But that's Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai."

Haruno Yukinoshita Yukino Yukinoshita sister. Would an older sister really betray her younger sister's classmates?

"If you think she's a suitable partner just because she's my sister..." Yukino Yukinoshita's fingertips, gripping the cup, turned white. "Then you're sorely mistaken."

"It's none of your business." Dong Yunshan tapped the table lightly. "I believe she is a qualified partner, a judgment made based on my needs and her qualifications."

"It has nothing to do with me?" Yukino Yukinoshita put down her cup, her gaze fixed on Dong Yunshan. "Your collaboration with her has absolutely nothing to do with me?"

"This is just a business collaboration." Dong Yunshan stood up, pressing her hand on the table. "My brand management capabilities combined with her resources..."

"I'm asking you!" Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly stood up, her icy gaze lacking its usual intimidating power, instead revealing a fragile vulnerability like thin ice. "Is it related to me?"

Dong Yunshan frowned, and several times he was about to speak, but then he kept his mouth shut.

An unsettling silence lingered, slowly building up...

Snore~

Saki Kawasaki finished her drink with a straw, making a messy sound, "You guys can communicate directly, right? Looks like you don't need our help, you two talk."

Komachi Hikigaya suddenly realized why she had had that strange sense of déjà vu before.

It's like the child relaying messages between parents during an argument.

Saki Kawasaki clearly realized this as well and prepared to leave with her two younger sisters.

"I'm sorry," Dong Yunshan sighed, "I've made everyone worry. I'll talk to her properly later..."

"If you don't need it later, say so now." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "The clearer the better."

Dong Yunshan looked up. "There's no need to involve them."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes trembled. "And what about you?"

"I..." Dong Yunshan sighed, "Do we really have to communicate like this?"

"We don't have to communicate like this," Yukino Yukinoshita sighed, "As long as you answer my questions directly."

"It's related to you." Dong Yunshan nodded. "Without you, I probably wouldn't have met her."

Yukino Yukinoshita was resting on the table, trembled slightly. "Is that all?"

Dong Yunshan retorted, "What else do you want?"

Yukino Yukinoshita: "How much of a relationship do we have?"

Dong Yunshan: "It's not that related."

"Not much" means how much?

"Not much, just a little."

"Stop, stop for a second." Saki Kawasaki raised her hand in a stop gesture. "If you're going to argue, then argue properly. If you want to watch manzai, we don't need to watch it here."

"I'm completely confused..." Yui Yuigahama, bewildered, but not as worried as before.

At least the two of them were still as adept at flirting as ever.

"Is there something we shouldn't hear here?" Komachi Hikigaya looked around. "We can excuse ourselves for a moment."

"There's nothing inconvenient about it... Many people know that." Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes and sat down again. "My older sister... is the heir to the Yukinoshita Family. Her past, present, and even future were all arranged by our mother."

Saki Kawasaki quickly grasped the meaning. "Heir to a wealthy family, elite education."

"Isn't this a great business opportunity?" Yui Yuigahama blinked. "Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai will be in charge of a family in the future, so if we build a good relationship now, we can have more collaborations later... or something like that?"

"What I mean by 'well-arranged' is... that there shouldn't be any other arrangements." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "My mother won't allow her to spend her time and energy on businesses outside the family. Even if she has a short time to try things out, she will eventually have to go back to... the right track."

"So what Yukino means is that Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai's idea was just a spur-of-the-moment thing." Komachi Hikigaya realized the seriousness of the problem. "Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai succeeds in her business, she'll give up the bubble tea shop and go back to inherit the family fortune, leaving Yunshan to struggle alone; if Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai fails, she can still go back to inherit the family fortune, but Yunshan..."

The two opened a bubble tea shop together. Haruno Yukinoshita was adept at navigating the situation, while Dong Yunshan was caught in a dilemma.

From this perspective, Haruno Yukinoshita is indeed not a good partner.

but...

"You must know about this situation, right?" Yui Yuigahama Yunshan had a lot of confidence in Dong Yunshan. "You definitely have a way, don't you?"

"It's very simple." Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "Just succeed in a way that makes her unwilling to give up."

"Oh right!" Yui Yuigahama's eyes lit up. "If we could make our Yukinoshita Family's..." She realized something was off and gave an awkward laugh. "That seems a bit difficult..."

"It's more than just a little," Saki Kawasaki sighed. "No matter how much a bubble tea shop develops, it can't compare to a construction company—it's not like Starbucks."

"But it doesn't have to be that powerful." Komachi Hikigaya tilted her head. "If we're just a little bit stronger, enough to complement the existing resources of the Yukinoshita Family, we won't have to worry about Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai quitting."

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly. "That would be... worse."

Chapter 299 Establishing a Relationship

"How could this be..." Yui Yuigahama, puzzled. "Wasn't it supposed to be a happy ending for everyone?"

Haruno Yukinoshita's entrepreneurial success has showcased Dong Yunshan's capabilities, and continued cooperation in the future will lead to even greater developments.

At least there will be much less resistance when getting engaged.

"If it really develops to that point, then the partnership will definitely not be sustainable." Yukino Yukinoshita smoothed a strand of hair. "My mother... will definitely take control of it."

At that point, Dong Yunshan will either have to leave or stay as an employee.

My mother will definitely do that.

Yukino Yukinoshita knew this all too well.

Failure, success, great success... the results were never very good.

Komachi Hikigaya began to understand why Yukino Yukinoshita was so opposed to it.

It's clear that Dong Yunshan was aware of all this, which is why she collaborated with Yukino Yukinoshita and Haruno Yukinoshita without their knowledge.

Knowing all this, why would Dong Yunshan choose to cooperate with Yukino Yukinoshita, even if it meant keeping it from Haruno Yukinoshita?

Saki Kawasaki asked directly, "What's your plan for this situation?"

"A solution? I am the solution." Dong Yunshan chuckled. "With me, things will flourish; without me, they will decline. If I want to leave, no one can stop me; if I leave, no one can make things happen—it's that simple."

"If it's a Yunshan ..." Yui Yuigahama wanted to say something encouraging, but the words wouldn't come out. "Well... it's good to have confidence..."

Yui Yuigahama knows that Dong Yunshan is very talented, but no matter how talented he is, he's still just a high school student.

Let alone comparing him to entrepreneurs with a long-term vision, he doesn't even have the work experience of an ordinary office worker.

Is what Dong Yunshan described possible?

It's possible.

But how likely is it?

First of all, the chances of successfully opening a store are slim.

Many adults lose everything when they start their own businesses.

Secondly, not only must the milk tea shop be operating well, but it must also have the potential for further development, which makes it even more difficult.

To be precise, it's not easy to even hold out until the rent expires.

Finally, it is also necessary to have absolute control over the discourse.

They are still competing with the Yukinoshita Family.

Yukino Yukinoshita's father is a prefectural assembly member.

Dong Yunshan not only needs to be successful, but also extremely successful; only by achieving extraordinary success on the basis of existing success can the best results be obtained.

But if it fails, or even fails slightly, the Dong Yunshan will...

"The partner you deem suitable may not be your partner at all." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan. "What you consider suitable may just be someone else's arrangement..."

"How do you know my partner will follow someone else's lead?" Dong Yunshan shook her head. "She also has things she wants to do, she also wants an opportunity..."

"So it really is related to me." Yukino Yukinoshita paused slightly, then a look of realization dawned on her eyes. "Is this... your method of correction?"

Dong Yunshan avoided her gaze.

Yui Yuigahama: "???"

It's been corrected again?

How did it get corrected?

What's wrong?

What is the relationship?

"There should have been a more prudent approach, but you chose such a risky one." Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly. "Is it because you believe my problems stem from my family, so you want to change my family and correct Yukinoshita in order to correct Yukino Yukinoshita —is that right?"

Dong Yunshan tapped her temples lightly with two fingers together. "I don't deny that I initially had that thought."

"I won't deny that's what I think right now." Yukino Yukinoshita easily saw through Dong Yunshan's wordplay. "You don't need to do this. This is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you."

Dong Yunshan turned her head. "Does this have nothing to do with me?"

"So it has something to do with me..." Yukino Yukinoshita a bitter smile, "Is that right?"

Yui Yuigahama: "..." What exactly happened between you two?

Why is it that even as Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita spoke more and more clearly from beginning to end, she still couldn't understand?

Komachi Hikigaya pondered deeply, trying to sort out her thoughts.

What exactly is the relationship between the two people they're talking about?

What exactly is the relationship between the two?

Why are they all avoiding this question?

First, the main topic: Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita, Haruno Yukinoshita, Yukinoshita Family.

In order to correct Yukino Yukinoshita's behavior, Dong Yunshan and Haruno Yukinoshita collaborate to change the Yukinoshita Family.
