Yukinoshita's Correction Method
The Executive Committee is the core organization responsible for the highest planning and operation of the Cultural Festival. It is equivalent to the central nervous system of the entire event and is responsible for all key tasks from macro planning to on-site coordination.
Members of the executive committee are usually recruited from all students in the school or recommended by their classes.
To ensure smooth communication between the class and the executive committee, each class must nominate one male and one female executive committee member.
Candidates are generally selected through three methods: voluntary participation, selection by lottery, and appointment by the teacher.
Compared to class activities, the executive committee members are more like working professionals. Their tasks are more demanding and tedious, and the environment is not as relaxed and comfortable as that in the classroom.
Therefore, few people apply voluntarily, Dong Yunshan basically approves every application.
The monotony of the task and the oppressive environment were not a problem for him at all.
Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered. "You're also joining the executive committee...?"
"Also?" Dong Yunshan blinked.
"Class J has decided to hold a fashion show." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "Compared to participating in that kind of event, the executive committee is better."
"That sounds amazing!" Yui Yuigahama's big eyes sparkled. "I'll go check it out later!"
"Although I'm not participating, you're welcome." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan, "Why don't you want to act?"
"It's a bit complicated to explain..." Dong Yunshan's expression became even more complicated. "Simply put, I feel it's very difficult for me to meet Hina Ebina's requirements."
Chapter 388 You're Not Allowed to Go
"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita even more puzzled. "It's rare to see you back down..."
Yui Yuigahama muttered under her breath, "Wouldn't it be better to back down now?"
Yukino Yukinoshita stared at Yui Yuigahama: "Is there something I don't know?"
Yui Yuigahama avoided her gaze. "There are some situations that are better left unsaid."
Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly.
"Let me put it this way," Saki Kawasaki tasted her adjusted drink and nodded slightly, "Hina Ebina wants to see boys perform their romantic entanglements on stage."
Yukino Yukinoshita froze for a moment, then warned Dong Yunshan firmly, "You're not allowed to go!"
"I wasn't planning on going in the first place." Dong Yunshan waved the documents in her hand. "I have other things to do."
"If it's Cloud Snow Tea," Yukino Yukinoshita hesitated for a moment, "I can make it for you."
"Wasn't it already written in the previous agreement? My sister is in charge of things like Cloud Snow Tea." Dong Yunshan shook her head. "I'm helping a friend with the transportation... well, we're not really friends, since I have shares in the business."
"Transportation?" Yukino Yukinoshita recalled for a moment, "That thing you mentioned when we went to Hokkaido before?"
"Yes, it's been running for a while now, it's called Cloud Flash Delivery."
"Cloud Flash Delivery?" Yui Yuigahama caught the keyword, "The one that helps deliver milk tea?"
Yukino Yukinoshita cast a questioning look at her. "Hmm?"
"I saw it on Twitter by chance." Yui Yuigahama showed her phone screen. "Someone in Tokyo asked someone to help them buy bubble tea from Chiba and deliver it to Tokyo. The delivery vehicle used was Cloud Flash Delivery."
Saki Kawasaki suddenly realized, "No wonder the shop is always so busy... I was thinking that Chiba shouldn't have that many people."
"From Chiba to Tokyo..." Yukino Yukinoshita's expression suddenly turned serious. "Could this be some kind of reselling?"
"Reselling?!" Yui Yuigahama panicked. "What do we do? I even liked it on my official account!"
"Let me see." Dong Yunshan took Yui Yuigahama's phone. "It's okay, this is a clearly marked price. It's the original price plus a delivery fee plus a reasonable profit. It's not considered reselling."
"Speaking of Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the difference between reselling and buying on behalf of others?"
"One is profiteering with high markups. The other is providing convenience with reasonable pricing," Yukino Yukinoshita explained succinctly. "The former mostly involves large-scale panic buying and hoarding, while the latter involves purchasing only as needed."
"We can't stockpile Cloud Snow Tea products either," Saki Kawasaki said, wiping the cup. "So there's no need to worry about reselling, right?"
"No, we still need to be worried." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flashed with concern. "With personal shoppers, there will inevitably be resellers. If we don't control them, it could damage the brand image, distort sales data, and increase food safety risks... We must prepare as soon as possible."
Yui Yuigahama feels that Yukino Yukinoshita has completely become the proprietress.
Dong Yunshan nodded. "There's no need to worry in the short term, but we do need to pay attention to the later stages."
Yukino Yukinoshita understood Dong Yunshan's unspoken meaning. "So there really is reselling going on now, right?"
"I noticed it before the start of the semester, so I had someone check it out," Dong Yunshan explained. "Do you remember when I hired shills on the first day of business?"
Yui Yuigahama's eyes widened. "I don't remember! So all the excitement that day was just an illusion?"
"It shouldn't be," Saki Kawasaki was present at the time. "At least I didn't see any obvious duplicates."
"Because once there were more customers, those shills left." Dong Yunshan chuckled a little after finishing his investigation. "Those shills were arranged by a friend of mine. After they left, they naturally had to report to my friend. And then my friend... who's a professional reseller, saw a business opportunity in it. He even wanted to give me a share, but I refused."
Yui Yuigahama looked at Dong Yunshan suspiciously. "This friend you're talking about..."
"He really is my friend, a junior high classmate. I guess it's just a hobby; he's been doing this kind of thing since elementary school. He's entered the workforce prematurely, I don't know what he was thinking." Dong Yunshan shrugged. "He happened to know about my relationship with Cloud Flash Delivery, so he handed over the delivery work to Cloud Flash Delivery —I originally thought someone was trying to target me."
Yukino Yukinoshita was still a little worried. "What if this gets out..."
"Once the hype dies down, we'll expose this and create some buzz, then take the opportunity to introduce various anti-reselling regulations." Dong Yunshan estimated the timeframe, "Enough to maintain the hype until the new product is released."
Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, then pursed her lips.
The Dong Yunshan has already made plans...
The problem she discovered, Dong Yunshan had already discovered long ago.
Dong Yunshan already has a solution to the problem she was worried about.
This feeling...
This looks familiar.
"Yukino?" Noticing Yukino Yukinoshita's expression, Dong Yunshan called softly, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing..." Yukino Yukinoshita replied immediately, then added, "I was just thinking about some things from the past."
It's really nothing...
She's gotten used to this feeling.
nothing.
Dong Yunshan blinked, but didn't press the matter further.
With the new semester just beginning, most students were still caught up in the excitement of starting school or the lingering effects of the holidays, and few people came to the Service Club to request anything.
Besides word-of-mouth referrals, the Service Club's commissions mainly come from recommendations by Shizuka Hiratsuka.
If a student is found to be acting differently than usual, after communicating with them, it is determined that the student is troubled, and then the student is asked to come to the Service Club for assistance.
That's roughly the process.
Observation takes time, and there probably won't be any requests during this initial period after the start of the semester.
With the Cultural Festival included, the number of days without commissions may be even longer than at the beginning of last semester.
The school bell rang, and everyone packed up their things, said goodbye, and went home.
Back in her apartment, Yukino Yukinoshita turned on her computer and searched for information related to the transportation industry.
But the information online is too chaotic. Are there any more reliable and timely sources of information?
Yes, there really is.
Transportation is an integral part of a construction project and is a key factor affecting project cost, schedule, safety, and quality.
Therefore, the construction company must have a large amount of reliable information about transportation.
Yukino Yukinoshita edited an email and sent it to her mother.
I received a reply very quickly.
"It's more complicated than I expected..." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly as she browsed and recorded the relevant information in the email.
Until I heard the walkie-talkie ring.
Chapter 389 What do you want to eat?
Yukino Yukinoshita opened the door and stared at Dong Yunshan, who was carrying shopping bags. "What brings you here?"
"I missed you." Dong Yunshan picked up her shopping bag. "Have you had dinner?"
"... No." Yukino Yukinoshita only then realized she was hungry.
She handed Dong Yunshan slippers, took the shopping bag, and went into the kitchen.
Yukino Yukinoshita was slow to realize that she had not only forgotten to eat dinner, but also forgot to change out of her uniform.
"What would you like to eat?" Dong Yunshan took out the ingredients. "I'll cook for you."
Yukino Yukinoshita watched Dong Yunshan's busy figure and bit her lower lip lightly. "Why did you come?"
"Didn't I just say...?" Dong Yunshan paused, "I missed you."
"What else?"
"You seemed a bit off this afternoon, and I was worried, so I came to check on you." Dong Yunshan paused, put down the groceries she was holding, and turned around. "Besides, I missed you."
Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly. "We were together in the activity room this afternoon."
Dong Yunshan blinked. "It feels like so much time has passed."
Yukino Yukinoshita a deep breath and met Dong Yunshan's gaze.
Their eyes met, and neither of them spoke.
Yukino Yukinoshita blinked first, her pink cheeks puffed out slightly. "Ask away."
"What do you want to ask?"
"The question from this afternoon," Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, "I will answer it."
"There's no need for that." Dong Yunshan shook her head. "You didn't tell me, maybe you didn't want to, or maybe you hadn't figured out how to say it. Give you some time, and you'll be able to adjust yourself, or figure out how to express it—I just hope we can get through this time together."
"Yunshan..."
"Um?"
Dong Yunshan reached out and pulled Yukino Yukinoshita into her arms.
The girl's slender body immediately pressed against him, her arms tightly embracing him as if she wanted to melt him into her own body.
Dong Yunshan lowered his head and gently kissed her on the head.
"No." Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head back. "You can't do that."
"Then... how about this?" Dong Yunshan's kiss landed on Yukino Yukinoshita's forehead.
"... that won't work either."
"How about this?" Dong Yunshan kissed Yukino Yukinoshita's nose.
"No..."
"Then..." Dong Yunshan adjusted his position again and kissed Yukino Yukinoshita's slightly parted lips.
How about this?
Whether it's possible or not... Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't answer.
His mouth was covered, not just blocked, but further... invaded.
The warm space was limited; there was nowhere to hide or escape.
Yukino Yukinoshita dislikes running away.
She prefers to confront things directly and then defeat them.
However, he was drawn into a fierce battle by Dong Yunshan.
Intimate contact made even the smallest movements crystal clear, stirring a jumbled mess of emotions within a dazed mind, silently conveying their feelings until they could hardly breathe...
It might be just a moment, or it might be a longer period of time.
Her moist lips exhaled warm breath, causing her glistening lips to sway gently.
In that case... that's how it will turn out.
The blush on Yukino Yukinoshita's face became even more pronounced.
The moment the crystal broke, it seemed to make a sound, reminding us of what had just happened.
Yukino Yukinoshita and gently bumped her chest against Dong Yunshan's chest. "I want to help you... but you can do it yourself."
