Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"...It's a success." Haruno Yukinoshita turned her gaze back. "Or perhaps I should say...it's easy to get carried away."

"A very fair assessment." Dong Yunshan nodded. "I accept it."

"In intense competition, you unleash extraordinary potential." Haruno Yukinoshita made a hand gesture in the air. "If you're at this level in your daily life..." She moved her hand up, "You become like this when an opponent appears."

Dong Yunshan glanced at it. "Is the difference that big?"

"This is just the beginning. As the conflict intensifies, your abilities will improve even further." Haruno Yukinoshita's hand moved upwards considerably. "If the enemy is too powerful, you might even grow rapidly in the process, unleashing even greater abilities."

"It doesn't sound like a weakness."

"What is actually revealed is weakness." Haruno Yukinoshita waved her hand. "When you achieve success, or rather, a certain level of success, you will stop there, or even... regress to your initial state."

To put it nicely, it's about knowing when to stop and being content with what you have.

To put it bluntly, it's about being carried away by success and becoming arrogant and complacent.

That is indeed a weakness.

"The more difficult the enemy is to deal with, the more it can stimulate my potential." Dong Yunshan vaguely sensed Haruno Yukinoshita's purpose. "So you've been trying to play the role of the enemy all along?"

Initially, Dong Yunshan was simply helping Yukino Yukinoshita with her high school problems.

However, along with Haruno Yukinoshita's series of actions, Dong Yunshan began to handle the affairs of two companies, involving local agricultural products in Chiba and fresh milk in Hokkaido, and also opened a milk tea shop to lead a new trend in tea drinks.

"How could that be?" Haruno Yukinoshita blinked her innocent big eyes. "I'm your older sister, how could I become your enemy?"

"You just said I made a mistake, you mean I handed over the matter of the Cloud Snow Tea to Yukino, right?" Dong Yunshan clarified the logic, "That was an event you prepared for me to stimulate my growth. But by handing it over to Yukino, your preparations were wasted. And in your eyes, I, who didn't grow because of it... am making a mistake."

Haruno Yukinoshita chuckled softly, "Yes and no."

"Oh?" Dong Yunshan looked at Haruno Yukinoshita, and a thought suddenly struck her.

The two met for the first time when Haruno Yukinoshita told him that his weakness had been exposed.

Why could Haruno Yukinoshita their first meeting?

Just like... she had been in contact with similar people for a long time.

Dong Yunshan turned her gaze towards the direction where Yukino Yukinoshita was.

If Yukino Yukinoshita and he share similar weaknesses, then everything makes sense.

Haruno Yukinoshita believes that the existence of enemies helps people grow.

So, before she played Dong Yunshan's enemy, she must have already been playing Yukino Yukinoshita's enemy for a long time.

Therefore, this time, Haruno Yukinoshita not only prepared difficulties for Dong Yunshan at the Cloud Snow Tea, but also for Yukino Yukinoshita on the executive committee side.

As for what difficulties...

Dong Yunshan caught a Minami Sagami asking the review team leader about the progress of the work.

Seeing through Minami Sagami's personality and noticing the executive committee members' exhaustion, he used his experience to advocate for their rest, gaining their support. Then, using Minami Sagami as a focal point, he created a crisis for the entire executive committee...

Is he risking the entire Cultural Festival to create difficulties for his younger sister in order to accelerate her growth?

If Yukino Yukinoshita really can't solve the problems with the executive committee, the Cultural Festival might not be able to be held smoothly... or it might be able to be held smoothly, since Haruno Yukinoshita is here.

When it comes to the crucial moment, she can completely take Yukino Yukinoshita and solve the problem.

"You prepared difficulties for me at Cloud Snow Tea, and now you've prepared difficulties for her here. You originally wanted us to grow individually, but in the end... we solved each other's problems." Dong Yunshan chuckled. "You might think this is a mistake, but in my opinion, this is the right way to solve it."

"That's why I said it's your weakness," Haruno Yukinoshita sighed softly. "You've only just solved one problem, and you've already overlooked your own mistake."

Dong Yunshan: "Hmm?"

"President!" A Student Council member suddenly pushed open the meeting room door. "Something's happened!"

The Meguri Shiromeguri looked surprised. "What's wrong?"

"Regarding the slogans for the Cultural Festival..." the Student Council member explained quickly.

In short, some people had objections to this year's Cultural Festival slogans and protested at the school, resulting in the slogans being rejected.

"Of all times..." After verifying the situation, Meguri Shiromeguri turned to Yukino Yukinoshita, "It seems we have no choice but to make changes."

"Everyone, please pause what you're doing." Yukino Yukinoshita clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention. "We need to readjust the slogans for the Cultural Festival."

The meeting began quickly, and everyone started discussing enthusiastically.

Some people...

Haruno Yukinoshita Dong Yunshan looked at Yukinoshita Haruno, who was attending the meeting as a representative of a volunteer performance group.

Her role in causing the executive committee to shut down can also be seen as a test that Haruno Yukinoshita gave to her younger sister.

But adding slogans to the rejection transforms it from a test into a complete obstacle.

If the issue of the executive committee's absence is not resolved, such an unexpected situation could completely break down the remaining hardworking and exhausted staff.

Haruno Yukinoshita wants to completely defeat Yukino Yukinoshita.

Moreover, she believed that defeating Yukino Yukinoshita the right thing to do.

That's why it's believed that Dong Yunshan made a mistake.

Chapter 457 Very Useful

Repressive education.

Dong Yunshan grasped Haruno Yukinoshita's core logic almost instantly.

Although Haruno Yukinoshita the older sister, when facing her younger sister, she sees herself more like a mother.

Therefore, she naturally took on the responsibility of educating her younger sister.

Her educational method was suppression.

Common methods are nothing more than excessive criticism and negativity, emphasizing shortcomings while ignoring strengths, and setting unrealistically high standards...

Yukino Yukinoshita's current excellence has convinced Haruno Yukinoshita that this educational approach is correct.

Letting Yukino Yukinoshita experience failure is very beneficial to her growth.

Therefore, the Dong Yunshan that brought her success was one that made a mistake.

"Ha... "Dong Yunshan made a sound that was neither a laugh nor a smile.

People can actually laugh when they're completely speechless.

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed Dong Yunshan's unusual behavior and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Dong Yunshan shook her head, "I just feel like I made a stupid mistake, only realizing it now."

"I hadn't noticed this before..." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "The slogan is the same as the advertising copy."

[So much fun! It's so much fun! ~You can hear the sea breeze at Sobu High School's anniversary celebration~]

It's basically a copy of the advertising slogan of the Jūmangoku Fukusaya, Jūmangoku Manju sells Jumanku manju, a specialty of Saitama Prefecture.

[I can hear the wind blowing... Delicious! So delicious!]

Yukino Yukinoshita rarely watches television, let alone commercials.

Dong Yunshan is either busy outside or exercising at home, and doesn't have much time to watch TV.

Neither of them realized anything was wrong.

The result is what we see now.

At the meeting, everyone first made their own suggestions, and then discussed freely. Through one heated debate after another, they finally managed to reach a consensus.

[Chiba's famous scenic spots, festival dance! Since we're all such fools, if we're not going to dance, let's sing a song!]

The first half of the sentence is a selection of lyrics from the Chiba Ondo, which is the collective dance song of the Chiba Bon Festival.

The second half of the line is an adaptation of a folk song: Those who dance are fools, and those who watch are fools too. Since we're all fools, wouldn't it be a huge loss not to dance?

Although there are still some similarities, at least they are not similar to advertising slogans.

But deciding on the slogan is just the beginning.

Yukino Yukinoshita issued the task. "Next, remake the posters and replace the ones that have been posted in order."

"No problem." The publicity team leader nodded. "We'll finish it as soon as possible."

"Wait!" the review team reminded them, "The budget still needs further confirmation."

"I have a friend who works at a printing factory," Dong Yunshan said. "I'll contact him when I get back. We can treat the budget as zero and just get the work moving forward. We can complete the paperwork later."

"If we're re-posting the posters, every single thumbtack needs to be recycled," the items Science Track reminded. "Those all need to be listed in the inventory management system!"

"Performances involving slogans also need to be modified." The personnel coordination team looked through the program.

"The layout of the commemorative album also needs to be redesigned..." The miscellaneous items group was not spared either.

The groups discussed the handling of related matters enthusiastically, and with the guidance of Yukino Yukinoshita and the assistance of Dong Yunshan, the work progressed rapidly.

Changing the slogan involves many aspects, and if the previous serious absence is not resolved... the consequences will be unimaginable.

Before the meeting ended, Haruno Yukinoshita quietly left.

After the meeting, Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunshan returned home.

After dinner, Yukino Yukinoshita wanted to continue working, but Dong Yunshan held her in his arms and they looked at online comments together.

"Look at this one, what did I tell you?" Dong Yunshan clicked on the comment, "Just by directly addressing the issue, they've already surpassed 90% of companies. And with such a clear response, they've surpassed 90% of the remaining 10%."

"There's absolutely no concrete data to support this," Yukino Yukinoshita, resting her head on Dong Yunshan's arm. "It's just talk."

"But you can see the praise and recognition in them." Dong Yunshan swiped his phone screen. "There are many similar comments, all affirming your handling of the situation and the clear announcement you made."

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him. "Just mine? I remember we finished it together."

"I was just assisting," Dong Yunshan said, his arm around her slender waist. "From the investigation to the handling to the announcement, you were in charge of everything."

"On the condition that you hand it over to me to handle." Yukino Yukinoshita placed her hand on Dong Yunshan's hand. "Otherwise, no one would entrust something so important to a high school student."

"That's because I believed you could handle it well, even better than I could," Dong Yunshan whispered. "And indeed, you did an exceptionally good job, instantly making Cloud Snow Tea surpass 99% of other companies. Thank you for your hard work, my wife~"

"I already said there's no data to support this..." Yukino Yukinoshita blushed, a hint of realization flashing in her eyes. "The atmosphere at the Executive Committee meeting today was really good."

"Mmm-hmm," Dong Yunshan responded immediately, "After all, we have such a capable chairman in charge."

"When I'm in charge, there are fewer and fewer people." Yukino Yukinoshita's slender fingers slipped between Dong Yunshan's fingers, gently holding his hand. "It's because you gathered all the executive committee members back that today's meeting went so smoothly. Thank you for your hard work, honey~"

"I managed to gather them back using a few tricks," Dong Yunshan kissed the back of her fair neck, "But what's truly impressive is your ability to ensure the smooth progress of the work despite the absence of so many people."

"Hmm~" Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly, "That was already the limit, and at the cost of everyone's exhaustion. If I were really that good, there wouldn't have been such a serious number of absences."

"This kind of thing is inevitable at high school Cultural Festival." Dong Yunshan inhaled the faint fragrance of Yukino Yukinoshita's hair. "Once you start working, these little tricks of mine will basically be useless. But the abilities you've shown now will be very useful in your future work."

"Don't smell it, I haven't showered yet..." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was soft. "Really?"

"Of course, staff shortages are common in our work. Your ability to keep things running smoothly even when there's a shortage of people is very important." Dong Yunshan buried her face in Yukino Yukinoshita's neck. "You haven't showered yet... so this is your natural scent?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gently nuzzled his cheek. "It smells like fabric softener..."

Chapter 458 Long ago

"Huh? Is that so?" Dong Yunshan sniffed her clothes. "Our clothes are washed together, so why didn't I wash mine?"

Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed, "Who told you to exercise whenever you had a spare moment? The smell would have dissipated long ago."

Dong Yunshan suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! My wife is so smart!"

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita snuggled into his arms and turned around, her icy blue eyes fixed on him. "Why are you acting... strange?"

"... Is there?"

"I originally thought you wanted to praise me so I'd praise you back, and then you'd offer me a reward." Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head. "But you were just praising me... you had absolutely no ulterior motives."

Is that strange?

"Think about what you've done to me lately!" Yukino Yukinoshita pinched Dong Yunshan's cheek with her fair skin. "And what have you made me do?"

"To be honest, it wasn't entirely my idea to do it; you also did it on your own initiative..."

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her cold eyes slightly.

"Sometimes you take the initiative to communicate with me, and then I tell you."

"You always find some excuse to start acting up..." Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed. "Isn't it strange that you're behaving so well today, even with an excuse?"

"That makes sense." Dong Yunshan touched the ribbing of Yukino Yukinoshita- the-knee socks. "How could I let your expectations be disappointed?"

"It's too late." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed down on his upward-moving hand. "I've already found out. Tell me, what happened?"
