Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Before he even exerted any force, he stopped on his own, picked up his phone, and put it on silent mode.

Then hold--

The phone rang, but it wasn't a cell phone; it was... the doorbell.

Dong Yunshan wanted to ignore it, but the doorbell showed no sign of stopping.

Taking a deep breath, Dong Yunshan propped herself up. "Wait for me..."

"Clothes." Yukino Yukinoshita picked up Dong Yunshan's T-shirt and handed it to him. As Dong Yunshan reached out to take it, she gently tugged at it before letting go. "... Just for a little while."

"Hmm." Dong Yunshan put on her T-shirt, walked out of the bedroom, and opened the door with red eyes. "Who is it...?"

"Good afternoon, business partner." Haruno Yukinoshita smiled, but her eyes were unusually cold. "Why didn't you answer my call?"

Dong Yunshan: "... I'm conducting important research."

"What important research is it?" Haruno Yukinoshita raised her voice, "Even an important business partner came to our door, and you didn't even invite me in for a seat?"

"Now..." Dong Yunshan closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, she was much calmer. "It's inconvenient."

"Oh?" Haruno Yukinoshita glanced at the women's shoes in the entryway. "Is something inconvenient?"

Dong Yunshan's voice was almost monotone. "This has nothing to do with our cooperation."

Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you really okay?"

Click.

"It could be related." Yukino Yukinoshita pushed open the bedroom door and came out, holding up her phone expressionlessly. "Since you'd already decided to come, why did you call us?"

"I wanted to ask if you were home," Haruno Yukinoshita said innocently, "But you didn't answer the phone, so I had no choice but to come to your door."

"Please come in." Dong Yunshan sighed and handed over slippers.

"Oh, it's you. I was a little worried." Haruno Yukinoshita changed into slippers and walked into the living room, placing her briefcase on the coffee table. "I was wondering what if someone was hiding in Yunshan's house. Should I intervene or not?"

"I'm just here, I'm not hiding." Yukino Yukinoshita crossed her arms, a lingering blush on her cheeks, but her eyes were already icy cold. "As for your actions, it's less like you came and more like you broke in."

"I'm just here to find partners, not to cause trouble." Haruno Yukinoshita patted her briefcase. "With the opening imminent, I've prepared a more detailed agreement than before to avoid potential disputes later."

"About this..." Yukino Yukinoshita's lips curled into a confident smile, and she winked at Dong Yunshan, "We're ready too."

Dong Yunshan took out the agreement documents she had previously gathered and placed them on the coffee table. "I was thinking of asking you to schedule a time to take a look at them."

"It seems we're on the same page." Haruno Yukinoshita opened her briefcase, took out the agreement documents, and said, "Well... let's decide which one to sign after we've reviewed them."

Dong Yunshan had a vague premonition of something bad. He picked up a document, flipped through it quickly, and read two pages at a glance. His expression immediately changed.

Although the agreement contains a lot of information, most of it is a standard template. You only need to pay attention to some key data, and you can get a general idea by just glancing at it.

Yukino Yukinoshita also picked up a copy and began to read it. The more she looked, the more her brows furrowed. She looked up at her older sister, who was slowly and methodically reviewing the agreement, and asked incredulously, "Are you crazy?"

Chapter 331 Strategic Objectives

"Am I crazy?" Haruno Yukinoshita took the drink from Dong Yunshan, glancing at the teeth marks on his shoulder. "Shouldn't you be asking yourself that?"

Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her cold eyes slightly. "What exactly do you want to do?"

"To cooperate even better," Haruno Yukinoshita, taking a sip of her drink with a broad smile. "The more enjoyable, the better."

"But this is no longer a pleasant situation." Dong Yunshan flipped through more agreements. "Are you serious?"

An agreement is a binding agreement between the two parties.

However, the agreement that Haruno Yukinoshita brought was almost entirely biased towards Dong Yunshan.

This includes, but is not limited to, major decision-making power, personnel appointment and dismissal power, budget approval power, supply chain leadership power... If this agreement is signed, no one will be able to shake Dong Yunshan's leadership for at least four years.

"I've already received the agreement, is there still any need for such questions?" Haruno Yukinoshita opened the agreement revised by her sister, her gaze instantly turning serious, but only for a moment before transforming into a smile. "Heh...no wonder."

No matter how well an agreement is written, it only becomes effective after it is signed.

No matter how many rights are written in an agreement that cannot be signed, it's useless.

Therefore, when revising the agreement, Yukino Yukinoshita comprehensively considered various powers, dividing them into core powers that were not to be transferred, partial powers that could be transferred, and powers that needed further discussion, and formulated corresponding quantitative standards for different powers.

You can have this, but you have to give me that first.

I want that, and I'm willing to pay this price for it.

For example, profit-sharing rights, limited business participation rights, supply chain collaboration rights, and decision-making power over non-core businesses...

Of course, the main interest still leans towards Dong Yunshan, but this power was delegated to Haruno Yukinoshita just so that the agreement could be signed.

The entire process was completed by Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita together. In Dong Yunshan's opinion, which was very experienced, the agreement was qualified, even excellent.

If he were in charge of this agreement, whether he were Party A or Party B, although some disputes would be inevitable, he would have a high chance of successfully signing the contract.

But the agreement offered by Haruno Yukinoshita was so outrageous that Dong Yunshan felt like all those years of classes had been for nothing.

Is this for real?

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "A manifestly unfair clause?"

Clauses that are clearly unfair, such as those that allow one party unlimited exemption from liability, will be deemed invalid.

Haruno Yukinoshita may have deliberately produced such an unfair agreement, intending to invalidate it later and then use the lawsuit to stall Dong Yunshan...

Haruno Yukinoshita raised her chin. "The balancing clause is later."

Yukino Yukinoshita quickly flipped through the pages, her expression growing increasingly grim.

She has already tried her best to fight for Dong Yunshan's rights within reasonable limits.

Haruno Yukinoshita's agreement, however, grants Dong Yunshan unreasonable power.

She thought her agreement was well-written, but her sister's... was even better.

"Where's the problem?" Haruno Yukinoshita shook her drink slowly and deliberately. "The key is that you know too little about the family, Yukino."

Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze sharpened; in her view, this was a very important collaboration.

But in the eyes of her sister, who was familiar with the family business, this was probably just a harmless experiment.

Therefore, Yukino Yukinoshita's idea is to strive for the rights and interests of Dong Yunshan as much as possible, while ensuring the smooth signing of the agreement.

However, Haruno Yukinoshita's only goal was to sign the agreement; she didn't care about rights or interests.

This is not a difference in the level of agreement revision, but a difference in strategic objectives.

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, experiencing a familiar feeling.

This feeling of having done the best you can, only to find that it was completely unnecessary to start.

Her fingertips, gripping the agreement, turned slightly white. Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her head, avoiding Dong Yunshan's gaze.

"I feel..." Dong Yunshan picked up the agreement completed by Yukino Yukinoshita, "This one is better."

"Hmm?" Haruno Yukinoshita turned her icy gaze over. "Is the favoritism so obvious?"

"Yunshan ..." Yukino Yukinoshita tugged at Dong Yunshan's sleeve, "...There's no need."

By signing the agreement with Haruno Yukinoshita, Dong Yunshan will gain more.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch." Dong Yunshan patted Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "I still prefer agreements where you get paid based on the amount you work; it makes me feel more at ease signing them."

Yukino Yukinoshita bent her fair fingers and clenched the hem of Dong Yunshan's clothes in her palm.

"You should study this more carefully instead of letting your emotions cloud your judgment and making the wrong decision." Haruno Yukinoshita shook her head. "The agreement stipulates that you are responsible for brand operation and product development, while I will allocate resources according to your ideas. Considering your status as a high school student, I will do most of the actual work."

"So your goal from the beginning wasn't to run a successful shop with him..." Yukino Yukinoshita finally confirmed her suspicions. "This isn't a partnership, it's an investment. If it fails, you can get back the money Yunshan borrowed. If it succeeds, you, who did most of the actual work, can continue to maintain your success even after leaving him."

"That's right, what I want is the person, not the shop." Haruno Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan with a smile. "So you can have the shop, and you can have the money that's earned."

If he doesn't make any money, Dong Yunshan will have to pay back the money, Haruno Yukinoshita will provide him with a job.

Having made money, Dong Yunshan naturally wants to further strengthen cooperation in order to obtain more benefits.

If Dong Yunshan makes a quick profit and runs, Haruno Yukinoshita can continue to make money on her own.

Dong Yunshan might win, but Haruno Yukinoshita will definitely not lose.

Regardless of which agreement Dong Yunshan signs, it will not affect this outcome.

The only difference is how much you get.

Yukino Yukinoshita shoved the document into Shinonome Sugi's hand. "...964.460 Sign her."

Dong Yunshan frowned. "But..."

"Hers is better." Yukino Yukinoshita a deep breath and stared at Haruno Yukinoshita. "I believe in his abilities, but I have doubts about your execution."

"Oh?" Haruno Yukinoshita's lips curled slightly. "So?"

"I need to check your execution," Yukino Yukinoshita said sternly, "And the specific execution details."

"I'm fine with it, but..." Haruno Yukinoshita put down her drink, "In what capacity will you be doing this?"

Dong Yunshan chuckled lightly, "I've given the authorization."

"He looks really cool." Haruno Yukinoshita blinked. "But it still depends on what Yukino thinks— Yukino?"

Yukino Yukinoshita replied with a serious expression, "Of course..."

Chapter 332 Reward Time

"What's wrong?" Noticing her younger sister's hesitation, Haruno Yukinoshita urged, "Don't hesitate, just say it."

"After all..." Haruno Yukinoshita's gaze shifted, landing on Dong Yunshan, "Whatever you want, he will give it to you."

"Whether or not this agreement is signed, Yukino's abilities have been validated through it." Dong Yunshan picked up the document. "I acknowledge her abilities and believe she is capable of fulfilling the role of director."

"I see." Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes crinkled with a smile. "I thought it was because she liked him that she..."

"I want to know more about the family," Yukino Yukinoshita interrupted her sister, quietly loosening her grip on Dong Yunshan's sleeve. "So... this is a great opportunity."

"That's right." Haruno Yukinoshita clapped her hands happily, making a crisp sound. "The partners have agreed, and I also need someone to help me fill in the gaps."

Dong Yunshan grasped Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "Yukino..."

"Yunshan ..." Yukino Yukinoshita's lips moved slightly, and she raised her icy blue, watery eyes, murmuring softly, "...Wait for me."

Dong Yunshan's fingers tightened slightly, then slowly relaxed. "Just for a moment."

"Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita gave a fragile smile. "I'll pack my things..." Then she looked at her older sister. "We'll discuss the specific details after we get home."

Haruno Yukinoshita raised her drink. "Okay."

Watching Yukino Yukinoshita walk into the bedroom, Dong Yunshan lightly tapped her temple with two fingers together. "Does it have to be this way?"

"I've thought about this too." Haruno Yukinoshita looked slightly helpless. "Because it's her, it's bound to be like this."

Yukino Yukinoshita raises questions about her older sister's work in order to help Dong Yunshan supervise her sister and prevent her from doing anything underhanded.

The question is, in what capacity should we do this?

Therefore, Dong Yunshan immediately authorized Yukino Yukinoshita to have the corresponding qualifications.

There's no problem with the format.

But in reality... does Yukino Yukinoshita really deserve this?

She didn't write the agreement as well as her sister, not to mention the specific tasks.

While Haruno Yukinoshita was handling her work, Yukino Yukinoshita was still in class.

Yukino Yukinoshita is not Dong Yunshan, and doesn't have that much work experience.

Therefore, even if Dong Yunshan granted her authorization, she could not accept it.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Yukino Yukinoshita will accept Dong Yunshan's help, but she will not give up on her own efforts, nor will she accept help that would make her give up on her own efforts.

If the agreement she drafts is better than her sister's, she will certainly accept Dong Yunshan's authorization to supervise her sister's work.

Conversely, the agreement she drafted was not as good as her sister's, so she couldn't convince herself to accept Dong Yunshan's authorization.

She is willing to earn recognition through hard work, but she cannot accept receiving handouts in exchange for failure.

Even if it wasn't charity.

Yukino Yukinoshita wants to participate in this collaboration and protect Dong Yunshan, but she is unwilling to accept Dong Yunshan's authorization... so she can only start from her older sister.

"The key is that you know too little about the family, Yukino."

After shifting her thinking, Yukino Yukinoshita immediately realized her previous strategic mistake.
