Yukinoshita's Correction Method
"What's wrong?" Saki Kawasaki asked languidly. "Is there a problem?"
"Well..." Iroha Isshiki avoided her gaze, "I just feel... it doesn't necessarily have to be Miura -senpai, right?"
"Actually," Dong Yunshan showed her the content on the phone screen, "It's absolutely necessary."
Chapter 611 Changing one's mind
"This is..." Iroha Isshiki softly read out the message displayed on the screen, "Isshiki Fan Club?"
"One of your anonymous supporters registered this account and posted a tweet." Dong Yunshan swiped the screen and read the tweet aloud, "[Support Iroha Isshiki to become the next Student Council! Students who share this opinion, please follow and retweet! Support Iroha Isshiki -kun, meow! Support Iroha Isshiki -kun, thank you meow! Sobu High School Student Council]"
"This account... has eight hundred followers?" Iroha Isshiki exclaimed in disbelief. "How is that possible in such a short time?"
Eight hundred?
If it weren't for the fact that there are only 1,200 students at the school, Dong Yunshan would have been able to reach 80,000 followers.
That's what online trolls are for.
"Thirty people played pranks on you, but you have even more supporters." Dong Yunshan put down his phone. "So, the only way to defeat you is to have Miura step in. Only her popularity can make those who originally supported you abandon you—or...do you have other options?"
give up?
A vein twitched slightly on the forehead of the Iroha Isshiki.
"But that's not enough to be safe, so we also asked Hayato Hayama for help." Seeing that Iroha Isshiki didn't speak, Dong Yunshan continued, "If the Soccer Club president doesn't support the Soccer Club manager, then the others who originally supported you will have even less of a psychological burden to switch their support to Miura."
Iroha Isshiki throbbed on Isshiki's forehead, and her smile became somewhat forced, "Yes... yes, I wonder what kind of proposal Miura- senpai will put forward..."
"The two proposals I prepared earlier," Yukino Yukinoshita said, "Have been handed over to her directly."
"Huh? Doesn't Miura -senpai have her own proposal...?" Iroha Isshiki hinted, "Then it'll be tough if you get elected... since it's not your own idea."
"Don't worry about that." Yukino Yukinoshita expressionlessly, "Once the election is over, nobody will remember what anyone said."
Iroha Isshiki was about to retort, but then remembered that Yukino Yukinoshita's father was a politician, so she shut her mouth. After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke again, "But the Student Council has so much work..."
"There's no need to worry about that." Dong Yunshan tapped her temples lightly with two fingers together. "If Miura really can't do it well, the Service Club will provide assistance."
"I'm not saying that Miura -senpai couldn't do it well, I just... Actually, after I went back last time, I've been thinking about this. It always feels like I'm dragging others down when I have to do things that I don't want to do." Iroha Isshiki raised her head and looked at Dong Yunshan. "Besides, Shinonome- senpai is right. We really can't let those pranksters get what they want."
Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "You mean...?"
"If I lose the election, no matter how strong my opponent is, or how justifiable my defeat may seem, those people will have achieved their goals." Iroha Isshiki's eyes blazed with fighting spirit. "Only by truly becoming the Student Council can I thwart their malice."
Yui Yuigahama looked at her expectantly. "So?"
"So I thought about it carefully, whether I should really try being the Student Council. But I didn't have the confidence to be a good Student Council..." Iroha Isshiki took a deep breath, "Until I saw so many people supporting me, and..."
She cautiously looked at everyone. "If I encounter a problem I can't solve, can I still come to the Service Club for help?"
"The Service Club will help those who strive to make a difference." Yukino Yukinoshita met Iroha Isshiki's gaze. "If you want to do better and are willing to put in the effort, we will help you."
Dong Yunshan added with a smile, "Besides, with the power of the Student Council, you can also legitimately deal with those pranksters."
Yui Yuigahama clapped her hands. "Oh right, we can also have Hayato Hayama give a support speech for you."
"Huh? Is that okay?" Iroha Isshiki's eyes, followed by a hint of distress. "Right, how do I tell Miura -senpai? I asked someone for help... but then they said it's not necessary..."
"That's easy," Saki Kawasaki said. "Just say your competitor is a first-year student."
"[Huh? A first-year student? Even if you win, it's bullying... I'm not running.]" Komachi Hikigaya raised her chin, mimicking Yumiko Miura's tone, "Yumiko would probably say that."
Yui Yuigahama wholeheartedly agreed, "That's something Yumiko would say."
Iroha Isshiki murmured thoughtfully, "That's good..."
"A first-year Student Council!" Dong Yunshan exclaimed in admiration. "Leaving aside the extra points for future entrance exams, the title of the youngest Student Council alone is the best retaliation against those pranksters."
"Yes!" Iroha Isshiki stood up and bowed again. "Thank you all so much for your hard work these past few days. I might cause you more trouble in the future... Thank you so much!"
"Then I'll leave my proposal and the corresponding speech to you." Yukino Yukinoshita handed over the documents. "You can make some modifications according to your own preferences."
"Okay!" Iroha Isshiki glanced at it briefly. "It's very detailed...a huge help! I was a little worried about it..."
"There's really no need to worry~" Komachi Hikigaya comforted her. "With your current approval rating, you'll have no problem with the vote of confidence. As for what happens after you're elected... you're still a first-year student, so even if you have any shortcomings, everyone will be understanding."
Iroha Isshiki nods vigorously. "Yes!"
Now that the decision has been made, I should also tell the teacher and Meguri Shiromeguri.
On her way to Shizuka Hiratsuka's office, Iroha Isshiki looked at Dong Yunshan beside her. "Shinonome- senpai~"
Just call me Yunshan.
"Senior Yunshan ~" Iroha Isshiki took two quick steps, stood in front of Dong Yunshan, and turned around. "Actually... Miura never agreed to participate in the election, right?"
"Oh?"
"Your senior's hints are so obvious, are you still going to pretend to be surprised?" Iroha Isshiki scoffed. "Using a junior's little tricks to provoke you, really..."
"Then why are you willing to change your mind?"
"Because everything you said is right, and there's nothing to refute." Iroha Isshiki smiled mischievously. "Besides... I do feel a little embarrassed to leave everything to you guys. Most importantly..."
What is it?
"Your senior and your girlfriend are so sweet together!" Iroha Isshiki winked. "I feel like if I have a reason to ask you guys for help more often, I can learn a lot of useful skills!"
Chapter 612 Subtle Differences
"Give it to me!" Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her pink cheeks and glared at Dong Yunshan in front of her.
"No." Dong Yunshan's attitude was firm.
"Are you going to give it to me or not...?" Yukino Yukinoshita's cold eyes narrowed slightly.
Dong Yunshan raised both hands and shook her head vigorously. "I said I wouldn't give it to you, and I won't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yukino Yukinoshita had already leaped up gracefully and pounced on him.
Seeing that she showed no intention of helping herself up, Dong Yunshan had no choice but to lower his raised hand and support her firm, rounded breasts.
"Hmph~" Yukino Yukinoshita got her wish and grabbed the document in his hand, pulling it out with a little force.
A smug smile played on her lips Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan: "Didn't you say you wouldn't give it to me—uh!"
Dong Yunshan lowered his head and kissed Yukino Yukinoshita's smug lips, teasing her for a while before finally stopping, satisfied.
"You..." Yukino Yukinoshita angrily punched him twice, "This is the activity room!"
Yui Yuigahama blushed slightly. "So this is the activity room..."
Judging from Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita's expressions, she still thought this was Dong Yunshan's house.
Yukino Yukinoshita glanced sideways, not daring to look closely at the expressions of the others. "Everyone's here!"
Komachi Hikigaya murmured, "So this is where we are..."
Judging from Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita's expressions, she thought everyone else, including herself, had become transparent.
Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed Dong Yunshan's face. "Couldn't you have waited until we got home to..."
Saki Kawasaki listened attentively, and noticing that Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't continued, she pressed, "What else?"
"...Teach him a lesson again." Yukino Yukinoshita patted Dong Yunshan twice, signaling him to put her down.
"You came here all by yourself." Dong Yunshan sat down in her seat with Yukino Yukinoshita in her arms. "It's easy to come, but hard to leave~ If you really want to see, then just look like this."
"You...!" Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, unable to break free from his embrace. She could only turn around and linger in his arms, skillfully sitting on his lap and flipping through the documents in her hands.
Just as Dong Yunshan made many plans for the Kyoto Branch, Haruno Yukinoshita also made many preparations for the Tokyo Branch.
After Dong Yunshan handed over his plans to Haruno Yukinoshita, Haruno Yukinoshita's plans also ended up in Dong Yunshan's hands.
Yukino Yukinoshita, who is in charge of operating the Tokyo Branch, naturally had to take a look.
The more I looked, the more alarmed I became. Haruno Yukinoshita's preparations were basically a complete replica of the Chiba flagship store's model. From the decoration to the interior planning, from the promotional methods to the event design, everything was done exceptionally well.
Noticing that Yukino Yukinoshita's expression was off, Dong Yunshan immediately confiscated Haruno Yukinoshita's plan, not wanting her to continue reading it.
But I haven't finished watching Yukino Yukinoshita yet, how could I just stop like this?
Yukino Yukinoshita shifted slightly beneath her pleated skirt, adjusting her position on Dong Yunshan's lap, and flipped back to where she had been looking to continue browsing.
It's really good...
Her calves, encased in black over-the-knee stockings, swayed slightly unconsciously. Yukino Yukinoshita tried to ignore the gazes of others and focused on reading the details of the plan, attempting to find some shortcomings.
Market analysis, product services, and operational plans are all fine.
The management team... was transferred from the Chiba main store, and there were no problems.
Financial plan, risk assessment, implementation timeline...
Yukino Yukinoshita's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she shifted restlessly—she dared not move.
Turning back to glare at Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita's blush, which had slightly faded from her focused reading, spread again. "... Terrible."
"Well..." Dong Yunshan argued, "It's not entirely my fault."
"It's all because you won't let go..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly, "Aren't you going to let go?"
Dong Yunshan reluctantly let go of her hand, and Yukino Yukinoshita stood up with her legs together, straightening her skirt. "Hmm... Overall, this is an excellent plan."
"Excellent doesn't mean correct. If all excellent business plans could succeed, so many brands wouldn't have gone bankrupt." Dong Yunshan adjusted his posture. "You don't need to take it too seriously."
Yukino Yukinoshita placed the plan on his lap. "I wasn't planning to take it seriously, but by not letting me finish reading it, you've made me keep thinking about it."
I'm worried...
"Will I be discouraged because I can't come up with a better plan?" Yukino Yukinoshita glared at him. "Or will I irrationally go against the plan because of my resistance to my sister?"
"Uh... a little bit of both."
Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly. "I'm not that childish."
"I haven't seen the proposal yet," Yui Yuigahama curiously, leaning closer. "May I take a look?"
Dong Yunshan looked embarrassed. "Of course you can see this..."
"Wait a moment." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Dong Yunshan again. "He'll have to wait a while before... well, to finish reading."
"Yes, yes, yes." Dong Yunshan nodded repeatedly. "I just suddenly remembered something very important that I need to confirm again."
Dong Yunshan looked through the document for a while before handing it to Yui Yuigahama.
Komachi Hikigaya and Saki Kawasaki also came over to watch together.
"Ah... so many words." Yui Yuigahama a little dizzy.
"Very professional indeed." Komachi Hikigaya quickly glanced at it, "However..."
"Something feels off," Saki Kawasaki said thoughtfully. "The plan is similar to the main store's situation, but something just feels off."
"Do you feel the same way?" Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes lit up, and she picked up another document. "Take a look at this too. This is the business plan that Yunshan made for the Kyoto Branch."
"Using Uji matcha as the core, supplemented by cultural and creative collaborations, we aim to create a standard for signature drinks, gifts, and tourist attractions, closely linking beverages with local specialties..." Yui Yuigahama, then picked up Haruno Yukinoshita's proposal for comparison. "It's definitely different."
"How should I put it..." Komachi Hikigaya tried to describe the feeling, "Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai's proposal is a bit like a standard industrial product, while Yunshan's proposal has more soul."
"That's the key," Saki Kawasaki pointed out incisively. "Yunshan's plan grasps the core of the main store's insistence on local characteristics, but Haruno Yukinoshita- senpai's plan merely replicates the main store's external form."
Chapter 613 Psychological Suggestion
"Tama Tea in Mizuho-cho, Nishi-Tama-gun, Tokyo Shibayama Dairy in Machida City; fruits in Hachioji City..." Dong Yunshan nodded. "She did perfectly replicate the Chiba flagship store's business strategy, but she didn't achieve a truly distinctive Tokyo character."
"After all, Tokyo's urban agriculture is limited in scale, and the characteristics of its agricultural products are more focused on high quality, high experience, and advanced cultivation techniques," Yukino Yukinoshita murmured. "There aren't any well-known specialty agricultural products like Chiba Prefecture's high-yield pears or Kyoto Uji tea, which is closely linked to culture."
"It certainly doesn't have the Chiba feel as sweet potato milk tea or Freshly Stewed Whole Pear," Yui Yuigahama, staring at the proposal. "Even though all the ingredients are from Tokyo, putting them together doesn't give it any Tokyo vibe at all."
"The feeling of Tokyo..." Saki Kawasaki pondered, "So what exactly does Tokyo feel like?"
"That's the crux of the problem." Komachi Hikigaya. "Yunshan's proposal perfectly captures the essence of Kyoto: temples, matcha, tourist souvenirs. But Tokyo ... shopping spree?"
This was also the most profound impression Komachi Hikigaya had when she traveled to Tokyo before.
"That's the crux of the matter." Yukino Yukinoshita her finger against her fair chin. "When you think of Tokyo, what comes to mind?"
Saki Kawasaki recalls her previous trip. "Busy?"
Yui Yuigahama raises her hand. "Dazzling!"
Komachi Hikigaya: "Of course."
Everyone looked at her with suspicion.
"That's it." Komachi Hikigaya explained further, "Work? Of course, in Tokyo! Going to a concert? Of course, in Tokyo ... of course."
