Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"That's right! Whether or not we can participate isn't up to them!"

"This is our sports meet!"

"That is!"

Although she had anticipated this reaction and made the necessary mental preparations, Minami Sagami still couldn't help but tremble when faced with the public's agitation.

Bang!

A heavy thud echoed through the conference room as Dong Yunshan slammed a thick stack of printed papers onto the table.

Yukino Yukinoshita picked up a card and handed it to Minami Sagami.

"We have done everything we can to propose a solution that can guarantee everyone's safety." Minami Sagami took the papers, took a deep breath, and said, "If you still object, we will consult the entire student body—these are the questionnaires we plan to send to all students."

Shizuka Hiratsuka got up from her seat, walked over, picked up a questionnaire, and immediately gave a helpless, bitter smile, "Are you willing to participate in the sports meet? Yes, no... Do you really have to ask every student about their willingness to participate?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka shook the documents in her hand, making a clattering sound, "This is unprecedented! How are you going to explain this to the other students?"

Minami Sagami forced out a reply through clenched teeth, "All..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes widened, clearly having guessed something, yet still finding it hard to believe. "Huh?"

"I will explain the whole story to all my classmates in detail, without holding anything back." Minami Sagami clenched her fingers, crumpling the paper in her hand until it left obvious marks. "My own incompetence, my flawed decisions, the things I failed to do well and the mistakes I made, my desire to make the sports meet a success, and the various difficulties I encountered—I will tell everyone everything."

Shizuka Hiratsuka hissed, took a deep breath, and scratched her head in frustration. "Even if you said it, how many people would believe you?"

"All the work done so far has detailed procedures and formalities," Minami Sagami said with a firm gaze, "And there are corresponding videos and photos."

"Work records..." Shizuka Hiratsuka was taken aback, then immediately looked at Dong Yunshan.

Yui Yuigahama also realized that Dong Yunshan had specifically reminded her about this before.

Saki Kawasaki was not surprised by this, after all, she had signed a contract with Dong Yunshan, which contained many details that she had never thought of before. Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita had considered everything very thoroughly.

How could they possibly make a mistake at a school sports meet like this?

Komachi Hikigaya rubbed her little tiger teeth, looking left and right, and finally understood why Dong Yunshan had repeatedly told Minami Sagami to only talk about her own affairs.

Talking about other people's problems will give them ammunition to criticize you, but if you only talk about yourself... others will draw their own conclusions.

Minami Sagami is willing to expose her own incompetence and mistakes, would she cover them up for others?

Even if she doesn't bring it up, once the work records are released, other students will discover that the group is slacking off on the job.

I always find things to be more credible than what others say.

In this way, all the students in the school will focus their attention on the problems of the on-site team, and may even suspect that Minami Sagami was forced to reveal her mistakes.

For students eager for youth, the sports meet is a very important activity in high school life.

This is the first sports meet for first graders and the last for third graders. Even as second graders, they don't want to lose this special memory.

If the sports meet cannot be held smoothly, those who have seen the work records will inevitably be more hostile to the on-site team that slacks off and repeatedly obstructs the sports meet than to the decision-making team that tries hard to find solutions.

The on-site team and the decision-making team were even more fearful of the consequences of the games not being able to be held.

Thus, the decision-making group, now aware of the potential to ruin the sports meet, acquired coercive power.

But exercising this power is not easy.

"No, we don't need to go that far, do we?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just not hold horseback battles?"

"We're not against the entire sports meet..."

Sure enough... as soon as the roof is lifted, people are willing to discuss the issue of opening windows.

"The application for riding horses in battle has been submitted to the school. If we want to change it now, we need to submit the reasons for the change." Dong Yunshan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a pleased smile appeared on his lips. "Although it has been discussed and voted on in a meeting, there are still people who oppose it, and there has even been bullying, so we have to cancel it."

Because the on-site team lacked understanding of the communication process with the school, coupled with slacking off, absenteeism, tardiness, and early departures, they had no knowledge of the specific procedures.

Therefore, whatever Dong Yunshan says is true.

Informational power.

"Bullying incident?" Shizuka Hiratsuka's gaze instantly turned stern. "This is not something that can be glossed over!"

"Bullying..."

"Won't it affect the sports meet?"

"Of course..."

A new disturbance began in the crowd, but this time it was clearly not as intense as before, carrying an eerie and subtle restraint. Those who felt guilty did not want others to notice their guilt, while those who did not feel guilty did not want to be mistaken for guilty. As a result, everyone carried a little bit of guilt.

"These... these are all your tricks, aren't they!"

Some people are pointing the finger at Minami Sagami.

"This method is too much!"

"Even if you're the president, it doesn't mean we have to listen to you, right?"

"You've never taken anything seriously, and you still have the nerve to act like the chairman at a time like this?"

"I can't believe it, someone who's always late actually..."

This is how conflicts between people go: first they exchange ideas, then they discuss the issue at hand, then they start evaluating each other's attitudes, then they criticize each other's shortcomings, and then they go even further and insult each other's families.

"Enough," Shizuka Hiratsuka said coldly. "Stop."

"Yes, yes," Meguri Shiromeguri followed up, trying to smooth things over. "Everyone, please calm down, okay?"

Chapter 499 The Weekend Is Approaching

Most people are still rational, but two people have lost their rationality.

He glared angrily at Minami Sagami from afar. "You clearly just went through the motions at the Cultural Festival, what are you pretending for now!"

Suddenly confronted with old grievances, Minami Sagami wanted to say something, but found herself unable to refute them. "Back then... that time..."

"Back then, we said things like 'good friends cheer each other on,'" Jie's voice grew louder, "And now you have new friends?"

"They used to be so dismissive, but now they're all eager to get close to me!"

Do you really think others will consider you a friend? It's just that...

Oh wow~ there's an unexpected bonus.

Dong Yunshan's expression brightened; he truly hadn't expected Haruka and Yui to be so excited.

But now he's more curious about how Minami Sagami will handle this unexpected situation.

"So noisy..." Minami Sagami muttered, then suddenly looked up and roared, "Shut up!"

The conference room fell silent.

Minami Sagami, however, showed no sign of stopping.

"You keep going on and on, who do you think you are! If you have a problem with me, then come at me!" Minami Sagami's voice was hoarse as she roared fiercely, yet tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. "I've made up my mind to do it properly! And I have! I'm trying my best! Is correcting mistakes a mistake? Are you only happy when I keep making mistakes...? I... I clearly..."

Her voice grew increasingly indistinct, until finally only sobs remained.

"Sagami- kun." Meguri Shiromeguri patted Sagami's back and softly called her name.

But Minami Sagami still couldn't calm down, trembling and sobbing.

Shizuka Hiratsuka shook her head helplessly. "Shiromaru, could you please take her to a place where she can calm down?"

Upon hearing his teacher's words, Meguri Shiromeguri nodded gently, took Minami Sagami's hand, and led her out of the meeting room.

Silence enveloped the entire conference room; not even a whisper could be heard.

"I'll ask one more time," Shizuka Hiratsuka began, "Does anyone object to the chairman's plan?"

Anyone who raises their hand at this time will become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, no one raised their hand to object.

"Hmm." Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled with satisfaction. "Then it's decided."

"Now, let's explain our future course of action." Dong Yunshan looked towards the conference room door. "Please come in."

Hayama Hayato and Saika Totsuka walked in.

"These two are the red and white generals who fight on horseback, and they will cooperate with everyone's work in the future. In addition..." Dong Yunshan glanced at the members of the Tennis Club and Soccer Club in the on-site group, "These two are also the ace players of their respective clubs, and more members from sports clubs will help prepare for the sports meet in the future."

As for the reason...

A bullying incident occurred at the sports meet. Although it is unknown who did it, it is certain that whoever did this did not want the sports meet to proceed normally.

In other words, those who don't prepare seriously for the sports meet are bullies.

When it comes to student organizations with bullies, the Student Council will naturally give them more consideration when allocating activity funds, coordinating the use of venues and facilities, and managing the borrowing of materials.

This is... reward-based power.

The meeting proceeded smoothly, ending in a somewhat somber atmosphere.

"They actually used this method..." Shizuka Hiratsuka stared seriously at everyone, especially Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita, "Thankfully, it succeeded."

"Success?" Dong Yunshan twirled his pen, his expression somewhat subtle. "I guess so."

Shizuka Hiratsuka asked, puzzled, "So what?"

"We made a mistake." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "We made a mistake from the very beginning."

"Isn't this fine?" Yui Yuigahama's questioning gaze shifted between the two of them. "What's wrong?"

"It's a strategy, isn't it?" Saki Kawasaki spoke up. "You're overthinking it."

"Yunshan and I believe the problem stems from Sagami's lack of leadership. Haruka and Yui are merely manifestations of the problem, essentially acting as proxies for everyone on the field team. Even if we resolve Haruka and Yui, others will inevitably voice their dissatisfaction," Yukino Yukinoshita explained somewhat helplessly. "Therefore, we should implement strategies targeting the overall structural issues, addressing the root cause, and the symptoms will naturally disappear."

"But actually, Yao and Jie are the key issues. They're not the outlet for the team's emotions, but rather the inlet. Simply put, they're the ones setting the tone. Deal with them, and everything else becomes simple." Dong Yunshan gripped his pen, drawing an arc in the air. "Trying to handle a public relations issue as a management problem led us down a long and winding road. If we had known it was a public relations issue, we wouldn't have made it so complicated—I'm quite adept at setting the tone."

Indeed... Yukino Yukinoshita very clear about this.

Before and after the opening of Cloud Snow Tea, there were all sorts of rumors and discussions online, which were like a rollercoaster ride for Dong Yunshan.

"So..." Komachi Hikigaya suddenly realized something and clapped her hands, "Didn't Sagami already make that clear from the very beginning?"

"I'm sorry... I was so focused on making the event fun that I neglected you all... I'm really sorry."

When Minami Sagami apologized to Haruka and Yui, this is what she said.

The underlying message is a question, "I was just busy preparing for the event and didn't have time for you guys for a moment, so are you deliberately trying to obstruct an event that belongs to everyone?"

At the time, Dong Yunshan felt that Minami Sagami's attitude in admitting her mistake was not sincere enough; while defending herself, she was also using others as a scapegoat.

In retrospect, Minami Sagami was right.

Haruka and Yui are indeed having a falling out and stirring up trouble because of this.

"It's hardly a mistake," Shizuka Hiratsuka smiled. "After all, neither of you could have imagined that someone would actually... sulk to this extent."

Neither Dong Yunshan nor Yukino Yukinoshita had experience interacting with this kind of person, so they naturally couldn't understand such a childish idea of trying to obstruct the entire sports meet because of personal emotions.

But Minami Sagami, having once been one of them, sees them like a mirror image, and can spot them perfectly at a glance.

"I guess this is part of youth too..." Dong Yunshan remarked with a sigh, then smiled. "Anyway, the problem is solved, and the work will be easier from now on. The weekend is approaching, everyone should have a good rest and relax."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly.

We had planned to go on a date...

Chapter 500 isn't here yet.

Did I fall asleep like this last night?

Yukino Yukinoshita was still sleepy, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. Her icy blue eyes reflected Dong Yunshan's face. Noticing the change in his serene expression, she stopped her subconscious movements.

Yukino Yukinoshita remembers clearly that when she first fell asleep, she rested her head on Dong Yunshan's arm, just like always.

As a result, when she woke up, almost half of her body was lying on Dong Yunshan.

It feels... quite comfortable.

After all, the Dong Yunshan is so big.

And when I'm asleep, I don't exert any force; I feel soft and limp.

This position does seem to be more comfortable than the previous ones.

So, you unconsciously adjusted to a more comfortable position while sleeping at night?

Yukino Yukinoshita is pressing down on Dong Yunshan, one of her hands is loosely held by Dong Yunshan, and Dong Yunshan's other hand is wrapped around her body.
