Yukinoshita's Correction Method Chapter 198
Looking at the scene before her, she couldn't help but recall what her father had just said.
"I know a very good young man." On the way here with his eldest daughter, Yukinoshita's father briefly explained, "Although he is young, he has a good personality and abilities, and he is also very interested in the bubble tea industry."
"That good?" Haruno Yukinoshita blinked. "Is Father trying to train him to be my rival?"
"It's to help you with the workload." Yukinoshita's father shook his head. "It just so happens that his part-time job is right across from your shop. Come with me to take a look. If you're satisfied, he can work for you; if you're not, he can work for me."
"It's not like she's guaranteed to work for Yukinoshita," Haruno Yukinoshita reminded her. "If you'd been in contact before and wanted to work for Yukinoshita, shouldn't you have joined already?"
"I haven't known him for very long, and I put on a little disguise." Yukinoshita's father took off his sunglasses. "To understand his true situation, I previously appeared before him as a down-on-his-luck middle-aged man."
"Looks like Dad still has a lot of free time." Haruno Yukinoshita smiled sweetly. "I'll talk to Mom about it and ask her to spend more time with you."
Even when dealing with his own daughter, he couldn't let his guard down.
No, it's precisely because I'm dealing with my own daughter that I need to be extra careful.
Yukinoshita's father forced himself to remain calm. "Well... this is also part of the job."
"Oh~~~" Haruno Yukinoshita drawled, "Pretending to be a down-on-his-luck middle-aged man to strike up a conversation with a young person, showing off his knowledge to impress them, and then transforming into a successful person to surprise them and win them over—what a brilliant scheme."
Is this referring to recruiting employees?
It's probably referring to recruiting employees.
Something feels off.
However... while the disguise was successful, it wasn't quite enough to completely win people over.
It should still be a surprise.
We should be able to win.
"Great joy and sorrow reveal true character. My appearance will bring him unexpected ecstasy," Yukinoshita's father instructed. "Observe him carefully later and see how he behaves."
"Anyway, I was going to check out the shop, and since it's on my way, I might as well." Haruno Yukinoshita was a little curious. "You seem to have a lot of confidence in him... What kind of person is he?"
"Quick-witted, gentle, helpful, humble and eager to learn, quick to grasp concepts, and mature beyond her years..." Yukinoshita's father paused, "Oh, and she also has a habit of exercising."
Haruno Yukinoshita: "..."
Although there are some discrepancies, it largely overlaps with someone she knows.
"His name... he makes you so satisfied?" Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes flickered. "Those who didn't know better would think you were recruiting an employee, not a son-in-law."
"Son-in-law... now that you mention it, if it's him, I'm completely satisfied." Yukinoshita's father shook his head. "But this is a major life event for you two, and it ultimately depends on your own thoughts."
"Our idea..." Haruno Yukinoshita smiled, turning her gaze forward, "Wow, so many people are in line?"
Yukinoshita's father was also surprised by the length of the line, but he wasn't too alarmed. "It's normal for it to be lively on the first day of opening; we'll have to see how it goes in the future."
"This is a shop I opened with an important partner," Haruno Yukinoshita scoffed. "And the other party is someone Yukino values. Can't Dad give him more recognition?"
"Okay." Yukinoshita's father turned and walked towards Starbucks. "If he's as talented as the young man I've chosen, then I'll definitely approve of him."
Haruno Yukinoshita followed, saying, "You said it yourself, don't go back on your word."
"After you've met him, you'll understand why I said that." Yukinoshita's father's gaze swept across the Starbucks, searching for that familiar figure. "It's hard to find another young man as outstanding as him."
Looking around, he didn't see the familiar figure in the shop assistant uniform. Yukinoshita's father looked again before spotting the boy by the window.
"Look," he pointed, "That's the young man I was talking about, he's holding my daughter's hand...wait, what is he?"
Seeing the young man he had been praising so highly grabbing his daughter's hand, completely ignoring her resistance and struggles, Yukinoshita's father roared, "Let go of me!"
The young man turned around and looked at him. "Big brother?"
Yukino Yukinoshita also turned to look at him. "Father?"
The two of them froze simultaneously, then stared at each other.
The young man held his daughter's hand. "Father?"
The young man grabbed the daughter's hand. "Big brother?"
Yukinoshita's father, enraged, shouted, "Let go!"
Seeing this, Haruno Yukinoshita burst into laughter, "Pfft, hahahahaha!"
Chapter 368 Future Planning
The glass partition separates the noise outside the window from the tranquility inside.
Like the barrier that appeared out of nowhere between the Dong Yunshan and the Snow Father.
Beside Dong Yunshan was the bewildered Yukino Yukinoshita.
Haruno Yukinoshita, standing beside Yukinoshita's father, beamed with joy.
Human joys and sorrows are not shared.
The silent gaze was deafening.
To be honest, I didn't recognize Dong Yunshan at first glance.
After all, Xue's father's current image is not exactly the same as his previous image; it's more like they're worlds apart.
He used to be a down-on-his-luck, unemployed middle-aged man, but now he's a leader.
But since we'd chatted for three days, I could still recognize him if I looked closely.
I was a little unsure, so I asked "Big Brother" with some doubt.
Then I felt like he was a completely different person compared to the guy I had been chatting with before.
Who is it?
Yukino Yukinoshita provided the answer—her father.
Dong Yunshan had certainly seen the photos of the Chiba Prefecture assemblymen.
Yukino Yukinoshita called out like that, it really did sound like... no, it did.
Yukino Yukinoshita didn't know why her father was there, so her voice carried a hint of doubt.
Dong Yunshan provided the answer—Big Brother.
The person I'm interviewing is... my own father?
My boyfriend calls my father "big brother"?
Yukino Yukinoshita's brain froze in the face of such a complex situation.
Then I saw my sister, who was smiling happily.
Could this be... my sister's plan?
That's awful! Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him.
Haruno Yukinoshita innocently shrugged.
She's truly innocent this time.
Yukino Yukinoshita stared at her relentlessly.
Of course, the desire to avoid her father's gaze was also partly at play.
Yukino Yukinoshita could remain silent, Dong Yunshan could not stay quiet. "Big brother..."
Xue's father stared at their clasped hands and forced out a voice through gritted teeth. "You still call me 'Big Brother'?"
Dong Yunshan immediately corrected himself. "Father-in-law, have a piece of cake."
Snow's father. "???"
Yukino Yukinoshita squeezed Dong Yunshan's hand hard.
"Don't be so nervous," Haruno Yukinoshita said with a smile. "On the way here, my father was praising you to me."
Snow Father: "!!!"
"Quick-witted, gentle, helpful, humble and eager to learn, quick to grasp concepts, and possesses a maturity far beyond her years..." Haruno Yukinoshita paused, her smile widening, "Oh, and she also has a habit of exercising."
Yukino Yukinoshita tightened her grip on Dong Yunshan's hand, her gaze towards her father filled with surprise and joy. "R-really?"
"I really... I really want to deny it!" Xue's father's face was ashen, but his heart was churning with turbulent emotions.
But it's undeniable, because that's exactly what he said.
Not a single word is different!
The eldest daughter's memory is also 8170, 405, and 45.
"Of course...it's true." Snow's father gritted his teeth. "I have a very good impression of Yunshan."
"Father-in-law, you flatter me," Dong Yunshan pulled out a chair. "Please have a seat."
Xue's father. "..." What are you implying by calling me "father-in-law" twice?
What are you implying?
Xue's father took his seat first, and when he saw his second daughter and Dong Yunshan sitting to one side, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
Seeing his eldest daughter hesitate before sitting next to him, even though she wanted to sit on the other side of Dong Yunshan, he felt as if his heart was being torn apart.
Taking a deep breath, Xue's father asked the most crucial question that had led to all of this, "What is your name?"
"Dong Yunshan."
"Surname Dong?"
"His surname Shinonome."
Xue's father asked in a low voice, "Then why are you named Yunshan?"
If you had said your surname Shinonome earlier, would there have been so many misunderstandings?
Dong Yunshan explained, "Because Shinonome is the surname my parents changed later, we're not so particular about it; we just call them whatever sounds good to us."
Xue's father. "..." This is something that might happen at Brother Yan's house.
Yukino Yukinoshita carefully observed her father's expression, a hint of worry appearing in her eyes.
Father doesn't seem... very happy.
Worried that Dong Yunshan was too nervous, Yukino Yukinoshita placed her small hand on his leg and gently touched it to comfort him.
Father seemed even more unhappy.
"This shop..." Xue's father looked out the window, "Was it opened by you and Haruno Yukinoshita together?"
Dong Yunshan placed her hand on Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "Yukino has also helped me a lot."
Xue's father. "..." I was talking to you about our eldest daughter, why are you bringing up our second daughter?
Is it implying something?
What are you implying?
"I didn't do anything," Yukino Yukinoshita corrected. "They were the ones who were busy."
What are you being so modest about? Is this something you can be modest about? You should argue... but that doesn't seem right either.
Xue's father gathered his thoughts and slowly asked, "Haruno Yukinoshita told me that you're in charge of brand operations. How did you achieve such high popularity?"
"Those are the ones you mentioned before."
Xue's father's expression froze. "... I meant besides those."
"I also hired some people."
What a simple and practical method... Xue's father frowned. "What about the risks?"
"We only hired people we know well," Dong Yunshan glanced out the window. "And... they've almost all evacuated by now."
"What are the follow-up plans?"
"First, we need to establish a firm foothold and solidify the current brand image of [Chiba Tea, Chiba Milk, Chiba Fruit, Chiba Drinks]." Dong Yunshan paused, "Then we'll open branches. As for the specific model, that will depend on market feedback."
"Oh?" Trying not to think about his daughter's question, Xue's father finally calmed down a little. "Feedback?"
"If the market doesn't react much, then we'll open the next store further away, combining local tastes and ingredients to simultaneously introduce new flavors in both locations."
"If no one replicates it, then replicate it yourself." Xue's father nodded. "But if someone replicates this model and engages in close combat with the opponent from a greater distance, it's obviously unwise—do you want to open a bunch of stores in Chiba Prefecture?"
"Regional saturation coverage," Dong Yunshan further explained, "By rationally planning locations and increasing as many branches as possible without overlapping service radii, we can reduce warehousing and logistics costs while creating a brand pressure effect and squeezing out competitors' living space."
Haruno Yukinoshita, recalling what Dong Yunshan had told her back then.
