Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"You still..." Yukino Yukinoshita froze, feeling the gazes of the others.

Saki Kawasaki belatedly covered her younger sister's eyes, while Kyoka Kawasaki asked in a puzzled voice, "Sister, are they doing something we shouldn't see?"

"Hmm..." Komachi Hikigaya's eyes flickered, "They're doing things that only adults can watch."

Yui Yuigahama intently. "I'm an adult."

I won't show it to you on purpose... Yukino Yukinoshita's hand touched Dong Yunshan's waist.

The Dong Yunshan immediately became obedient.

Kyoka Kawasaki asked in a cute voice, "Haven't they finished kissing yet?"

Saki Kawasaki: "We haven't kissed yet..."

Dong Yunshan looked at Yukino Yukinoshita: "How about...?"

Yukino Yukinoshita applied pressure to her hand. "Hmm?"

"Let's get down to business." Dong Yunshan helped bring everyone's drinks into the private room.

When Yukino Yukinoshita took out the prepared agreement, Saki Kawasaki was genuinely taken aback. "So much?"

"There's a lot to cover, so I'll try to keep it simple." Yukino Yukinoshita looked in the direction of Komachi Hikigaya. "Komachi, I'm leaving the recording to you. It might come in handy if any problems arise later."

"Leave it to me!" With her Komachi Hikigaya moved her two small hands up and down, mimicking a clapperboard, and snapped, "Start!"

Saki Kawasaki, who was initially quite relaxed, couldn't help but feel a little nervous and flustered upon seeing this scene. "Is it really necessary?"

"Since we're going to sign an agreement, it's better to get it done right away," Dong Yunshan explained. "Actually, if it were my own shop, it wouldn't matter whether the agreement was signed sooner or later. But Cloud Snow Tea is a collaboration between me and my senior, and her situation is a bit complicated, so it's better to sign it now."

Yui Yuigahama and Kyoka Kawasaki sat on the other side. The little girl was eating a fruit yogurt that a senior employee had given her, and she kept looking over curiously as she ate.

"Before we discuss the agreement, let me ask you something," Saki Kawasaki said, her gaze shifting between Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita. "What are your thoughts on this collaboration? This will determine my opinion on the contents of the agreement."

"This agreement guarantees that your income won't change significantly in the short term after Yunshan and my sister stop working together," Yukino Yukinoshita replied. "In other words, it will minimize the impact on you after he ends the partnership."

"This also ensures that we can maintain a long-term and healthy cooperative relationship during the normal course of the cooperation." Dong Yunshan tapped his temples lightly with two fingers together. "In other words, your efforts will be rewarded accordingly, and my efforts will be rewarded accordingly."

"So..." Saki Kawasaki seized on the key point, "You haven't decided yet whether this cooperation will end or continue."

"Whatever the outcome of this collaboration..." Yukino Yukinoshita gently grasped Dong Yunshan's hand, "At this stage, we should ensure that this collaboration proceeds smoothly. As for whether to continue or terminate the collaboration later..."

Dong Yunshan chimed in, "It depends on the specific circumstances."

Does confirming a relationship have such a significant impact on couples?

Saki Kawasaki felt that Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita a kind of mind swap.

Dong Yunshan thought that since she was going to do it, she should do it well the first time.

Yukino Yukinoshita thought to herself that she should focus on doing what needed to be done now and deal with the future later.

Or perhaps these two were already inseparable before, and after confirming their relationship... they completely dropped the pretense.

"I roughly understand." Saki Kawasaki nodded. "Where to begin?"

"In this collaboration, Yunshan is responsible for brand operation and product development; he is Party A. As the product development specialist, your work is entirely handled by him; you are Party B." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was almost monotone, completely businesslike. "Regarding intellectual property ownership, the intellectual property rights of all research and development results under this contract belong exclusively to Party A. Without Party A's written permission, Party B may not use, transfer, or authorize any third party to use them in any form."

"It's an exclusive license," Dong Yunshan added. "You provide the product, I provide the funding, and no one else can use it."

"No one usually hires high school students for product development. If we don't give it to you, no one else will." Saki Kawasaki nodded. "That's no problem."

"Then there's the confidentiality obligation," Yukino Yukinoshita continued, "The contractor promises to keep all trade secrets of the client learned during the research and development process confidential for life..."

Chapter 320 Pleasant Cooperation

"I think I signed something similar when I was mixing drinks before..." Saki Kawasaki recalled, "The content seemed pretty much the same?"

"After all, it's all about beverages, but this clause shouldn't be included in your bartending." Yukino Yukinoshita opened the document. "Non-competition clause – During the contract period and for two years after termination, Party B shall not provide beverage R&D services to companies that compete with Party A; otherwise, a penalty will be imposed. I've compiled a table listing all such companies, and this table will be updated regularly."

"This is to prevent you from jumping ship to a competitor," Dong Yunshan offered his advice. "I personally don't care about this, but if you agree to this agreement, there will be a non-compete compensation, which is usually more than 30% of your annual salary before leaving."

Saki Kawasaki understood quickly. "So, if your collaboration with Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai ends, and I have no intention of continuing it, then as long as I don't join any other similar companies after it ends, I'll still get paid for two years?"

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "That's right."

"No problem, I agree with that too." Saki Kawasaki pressed, "Anything else?"

"Most importantly, the compensation and profit-sharing mechanism." Dong Yunshan took the document. "This is also the main reason why I haven't signed a contract with you before."

Saki Kawasaki asked, puzzled, "Is there a problem?"

"The key lies in price," Yukino Yukinoshita stated bluntly. "Pricing an individually developed product requires a comprehensive consideration of product value, market potential, and development costs. Different valuation methodologies will yield different results."

Saki Kawasaki looked directly at Dong Yunshan.

Please translate this.

Dong Yunshan succinctly put it. "A product that hasn't been market-tested has one price; once it's sold out and the business is thriving, it has another price."

"If it sells but doesn't become popular..." Saki Kawasaki understood the implication, "It might not even sell for the initial price?"

"My initial idea was to open the shop, operate it for a while, and then finalize the relevant agreements," Dong Yunshan pointed out the key point, "So you can get more money then."

"But if business isn't good after you open the store..." Yukino Yukinoshita warned, "You might only get a very small portion."

"Although you have different ideas about the future of the store, you two seem to be in complete agreement on letting me take a little more." Saki Kawasaki asked, puzzled, "Is this really okay?"

"That's how business partnerships work. It's a proportional arrangement; whatever I contribute, my partner has to contribute accordingly." Dong Yunshan raised his hand. "If it's a 30/70 split, I'll pay you an extra 700, and you'll get 1000. Why not?"

"And your way of thinking is dangerous." Yukino Yukinoshita stared at Saki Kawasaki. "During contract negotiations, be careful of anything that harms your interests, and be even more careful of anything that benefits you, because there might be traps hidden within that that could cause you heavy losses."

"Hearing you say that makes me even less wary," Saki Kawasaki said, resting her chin on her hand. "So, what's your final plan?"

"Base salary plus sales commission." Yukino Yukinoshita showed the contents of the agreement. "The cost of developing a single product for small and medium-sized catering enterprises by external developers is usually between 100,000 and 300,000 yen. Beverages are relatively simple, so the range is set at 50,000 to 250,000 yen. Taking into account the lack of market testing and experience, the final price is set at 100,000 yen."

"Wait... 100,000?" Saki Kawasaki's usually languid eyes widened suddenly. "I developed a drink and you give me 100,000?!"

"In my opinion, that's already quite a lot," Dong Yunshan gestured with his chin. "There's more to come."

Yukino Yukinoshita added, "Based on this, for every 500 cups sold per month, you will receive 0.8% of the net sales revenue of that single item; for 500 to 1000 cups, it's 1.2%; and for over 1000 cups, it's 1.5%."

"I thought you guys were being a bit too formal..." Yui Yuigahama was dumbfounded. "I didn't know developing beverages was so profitable?"

"Don't be impulsive, there are standards." Yukino Yukinoshita, recalling Yui Yuigahama's previous achievements, pressed her temples as if having a headache. "It needs to have a blind test pass rate of over 70%, controllable costs, and stable flavor."

Saki Kawasaki glanced at the large pile of agreements with a complicated expression. "Next time, you guys talk about the payment first, so I don't need to listen to the rest."

Saki Kawasaki usually mixes her own drinks, and now she's making money off it, so why not?

Yukino Yukinoshita organizing the documents, asked, "So, you agree to the current plan?"

"Of course." Saki Kawasaki's nod was no longer as languid as usual. "Shall we sign now?"

"That won't work. According to Article 5 of the Civil Code, a minor must obtain the consent of their legal guardian before signing a contract; otherwise, the contract can be revoked." Yukino Yukinoshita produced another document. "If the legal guardian is unable to be present to sign, written consent has the same effect, and it's best to have it notarized."

Dong Yunshan put it more succinctly. "Talk to your parents and get their consent."

"We really need to have a serious talk with our parents..." Saki Kawasaki flipped through the agreement the two had handed her. "Honestly, I'm only now starting to understand you guys."

Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita showed similar confusion.

"Yunshan thinks this price is low, which means he believes the profit margin is huge." Saki Kawasaki sighed. "Such a good collaboration, if it were me, I wouldn't give it up so easily."

Dong Yunshan smiled and shook hands with Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Furthermore, just considering my part, there are so many things to consider and such a large amount of financial transactions." Saki Kawasaki's eyes showed a hint of worry. "This is truly not a collaboration that an ordinary high school student could accomplish."

Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Dong Yunshan and squeezed his hand. "That's enough explanation, Komachi. Thanks for your hard work."

"OK!" Komachi Hikigaya finished filming. "I'll send it to you guys later."

"I'll take these things back and discuss them with my parents." Saki Kawasaki carefully put away the agreement and some attachments. "I'll contact you again after I've confirmed everything."

"Right, that's how you do it, right?" Saki Kawasaki stood up, extended her hand, and said, "Pleasure doing business with you."

Dong Yunshan had just stood up and offered his hand.

Yukino Yukinoshita stepped forward, grasped Saki Kawasaki's hand, and stood up, revealing a perfect smile, "Pleasure doing business with you."

Then he turned and glared at Dong Yunshan as if giving her a warning.

Dong Yunshan: "..."

"So..." Kyoka Kawasaki had already finished her yogurt and fruit. "Isn't my older sister amazing?"

Dong Yunshan looked at the little girl. "She's incredibly amazing!"

Chapter 321 Inability to Think

While massaging Dong Yunshan's hands, Yukino Yukinoshita briefly explained the key points, "The most important are the shareholder agreement and the intellectual property agreement, which can guarantee the most basic interests. The relatively troublesome one is the supply chain cooperation agreement..."

Dong Yunshan had barely moved her hand when she was glared at.

"What?" Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him. "When we're outside, don't you like holding hands?"

"You said it yourself, that was outside," Dong Yunshan shook their clasped hands. "We're at home now."

"Can't we hold hands at home?"

"At home, we can do more than just hold hands..." Dong Yunshan tilted her head Yukino Yukinoshita.

"You..." Yukino Yukinoshita lips parted slightly, then gently closed them again, "This is different..."

"How come it's different?"

"When we hold hands, we can get down to business." As Dong Yunshan's face drew closer, Yukino Yukinoshita unconsciously softened her breathing. "If... then we can only..."

"What if?" So close, Dong Yunshan could clearly see the slight trembling of Yukino Yukinoshita, curved eyelashes. "What can it be?"

"If only..." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly, applying slight pressure. Her glistening lips slowly escaped the pressure of her teeth, shimmering with a dazzling luster. "A kiss—mmm~"

The words yet to be spoken were blurred into a melodious sound by Dong Yunshan's kiss, stirring the heartstrings and leaving it restless for a long time.

Dong Yunshan could sense the tension in Yukino Yukinoshita's slender body. Even though she was mentally prepared, the sudden attack still made her panic for a moment.

In particular, that uncontrolled, overly melodious hum, carrying the gentle aura of a young girl, echoed and spread during their close contact.

Seemingly finding it hard to believe that she herself made the sound, Yukino Yukinoshita tightened her grip on Dong Yunshan's hand slightly before gradually relaxing it as their breaths mingled.

It's also possible that they're just too weak.

Yukino Yukinoshita's tense body seemed to lose its support, and she leaned gently against Dong Yunshan, pressing herself closer to him in a half-close, half-close rubbing.

"Hoo~" The moment their lips parted, Yukino Yukinoshita's warm breath couldn't wait to gently caress Dong Yunshan's lips, like a lingering breeze.

"I already said~" Yukino Yukinoshita's sentence took three turns before she regained her composure at the very last word, "When we're holding hands, we can still get down to business, but when it comes to kissing, well... kissing."

"So..." Dong Yunshan blinked, "If we can keep thinking while kissing, we can go on forever..."

"... Nonsense." Yukino Yukinoshita covered Dong Yunshan's mouth with her hand. "Can you do that?"

"It should work..." Dong Yunshan wasn't sure either, "Shall we give it a try?"

"You just want to find an excuse..."

"I really want to try."

Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her cold eyes slightly. "Alright, then think about the equity binding and exit clauses. If you can't come up with anything..."

What should I do if I can't figure it out?

If I can't think of anything, you're not allowed to kiss me today.

"Hmm..." Dong Yunshan hesitated.

"If you can't do it, then be honest." Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed. "There are still many agreements to finalize."

"Actually," Dong Yunshan coughed lightly, "I was just thinking, what if you try to renege on your debt?"

"I'm going to renege on my debt?" Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes were icy. "It seems you're quite confident."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at Dong Yunshan and then closed her eyes.

She closed her eyes.

Eye...

They opened their eyes.

Yukino Yukinoshita, with a stern face, said, "What are you standing there for?"

Dong Yunshan tilted her head. "I don't think it's necessary..."

Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly. "It's necessary."

"If you feel it's necessary..." Dong Yunshan leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes.
