Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"This requires..."

Dong Yunshan bombarded him with questions. "To persuade kindergarten and nursing home staff to participate, what are the corresponding contingency plans? How to avoid unexpected situations? How to deal with unexpected situations? Where is the crisis response manual? What are the participation criteria? What age children can participate, and what kind of elderly people can participate?"

Everyone stared blankly at Dong Yunshan; the conference room remained silent for a long while.

"Hmm--" Tamanawa quickened her hand movements, "This requires us to combine the existing records, revise them according to the current requirements, integrate the ideas of both parties through thorough communication, and finally discuss..."

"Let's begin," Dong Yunshan gestured with his chin, "To discuss."

"Hmm—" Sweat beaded on Tamanawa's forehead as she waved her hands back and forth, "Then let's all speak freely and come together to discuss the things we need to pay attention to... matters."

Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "That's not right."

"Again..." Tamanawa visibly shuddered. "What is it now?"

"This is too inefficient." Dong Yunshan pointed out the key issue. "Here's what we'll do: we'll contact kindergartens, primary schools, and nursing homes to convey our idea of organizing activities together, and then ask about their needs. You guys discuss it, and we'll head out now. Send us your findings via email, and we'll relay them to them—a two-pronged approach."

"Hmm--" Tamanawa hesitated, then seemed to suddenly remember something, "You just said you're leaving now?"

"It's 'departure'," Dong Yunshan corrected with a smile.

"Alright!" Tamanawa breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's do it this way."

"Then, I'll leave the task of compiling the meeting minutes to you all." Dong Yunshan stood up. "Pack your things, let's go."

Chapter 627 Open and Frank

Before the other members of the Sobu High School Student Council could figure out what was going on, Iroha Isshiki had already reacted and got up to pack her things. "Then let's head out first. The sooner we meet, the more time we'll have to discuss things."

Seeing this, the vice president, secretary, and accountant also started tidying up.

Tamanawa nodded eagerly, "Well... then thank you for your hard work."

The students from Sobu High School followed Dong Yunshan away from the community center. When they saw Dong Yunshan suddenly stop, everyone stopped as well.

"Senior?" Iroha Isshiki looked at Dong Yunshan, "Where should we go next?"

"What would you like to eat?" Dong Yunshan turned his head, his previous coldness replaced by a friendly smile. "Brother Shan's treating!"

"Now?" Kimaki Makito's eyes widened in astonishment. "Aren't we going to kindergarten?"

"No rush," Dong Yunshan waved his hand. "With their meeting style, we'll finish eating before they come up with any useful solutions."

"Well~" Iroha Isshiki blinked, "How's Saizeriya?"

Dong Yunshan looked at the others. "What are your thoughts?"

The others exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"Wait a moment, I'll call a car." Dong Yunshan dialed the phone.

Not long after, the man with the rooster-like haircut drove up in front of Dong Yunshan in a seven-seater car.

"Get in the car." Dong Yunshan gestured for everyone to get in, then sat in the passenger seat himself. "Why are you here?"

"I happen to have some free time." The man with the mohawk chuckled. "Brother Shan, Little Wen asked me to tell you that the split is going very smoothly and we should be ready before Christmas."

"Yes, that's it for the end of the year. The key is after the New Year." Dong Yunshan narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's the same method as before. This time, I won't go running around with you. You can handle it yourselves."

The rooster-haired man started the car. "Alright!"

Upon arriving in Saizeriya, we ordered some simple meals.

After everyone had almost finished eating, Dong Yunshan took a big gulp of cola and got straight to the point. "I'm sorry to have troubled you all these past few days."

The short-haired accountant, Inamura Jun, paused for a moment, looking somewhat bewildered.

The secretary Sawako Fujisawa double braids, turned her gaze toward the vice president, Kimaki Makito.

The vice president shook his head. "Actually... it's not that exaggerated, it's all for the sake of making the event successful."

"With this kind of meeting format, it's not easy to organize an event successfully." Dong Yunshan glanced at Iroha Isshiki. "My original idea was to teach Iroha a couple of moves so she could take the lead, but as everyone has seen, the results were disappointing."

Iroha Isshiki lowered her head in self-reproach.

Although she knew she might not do well, it was only after listening to Dong Yunshan's series of questions that she truly realized how badly she had done.

Compared to her lukewarm questions, Dong Yunshan's questions truly hit the nail on the head, every single one of them getting to the heart of the matter.

Dong Yunshan stated frankly, "However, this is not Iroha's fault, but rather my oversight."

"No, no~" Iroha Isshiki immediately looked up, "It's my fault for not greeting you properly..."

"Making you expose someone's pretense of knowledge by asking probing questions without understanding the specific activity procedures is essentially encouraging you to pretend to know what you don't," Dong Yunshan further added. "Moreover, considering you're only a first-year student, you'll naturally have some reservations about your seniors—you should all understand this, right?"

The accountant nodded.

The secretary glanced at the vice president and nodded in agreement.

Vice President Kimaki Makito sighed softly and looked at Iroha Isshiki: "Actually... I wish the president wouldn't have to worry about these things."

Iroha Isshiki looked at the vice president with surprise and confusion.

"More than respecting and worrying about the younger students, everyone wants the event to make real progress," Dong Yunshan explained. "When the event progresses slowly because of your concerns, those concerns become an obstacle."

"But..." Iroha Isshiki understood what Dong Yunshan meant, but the problem was that even without considering that, she couldn't move the event forward. "I'm sorry..."

The Kimaki Makito sighed softly.

"Actually, I realized it yesterday. The problems with this event are easy to solve, but the real problem lies with everyone." Dong Yunshan's gaze swept over the crowd. "My initial idea was to help Iroha establish authority, but that method didn't work, so naturally we had to change it."

Dong Yunshan spread his hands and introduced, "Iroha Isshiki is a very popular and well-liked first-year student. As the manager of the Soccer Club, she has the ability, but she has just taken on the position of Student Council and lacks relevant experience. In addition, she is still a first-year student, so she inevitably has some concerns about her seniors—Fujisawa-kun, you should be able to understand this, right?"

Secretary Sawako Fujisawa nodded slightly. She was also a first-year student and had just started serving as the Student Council secretary.

"As for Mumu and Inamura, although we didn't have much contact during the previous Cultural Festival and sports meet, we did work together, and I saw your dedication." Dong Yunshan tapped his temples with two fingers together. "Therefore, I think we can solve the current problem in a simpler and more effective way, without worrying about seniority or responsibilities. Let's communicate directly and say what we want to say clearly."

The group exchanged glances, then simultaneously looked away.

The two sides were not familiar with each other and had only spent a short time together. Considering that they would be spending a lot of time together in the Student Council in the future, it was not so easy to say some things that were too direct.

"Mu Mu," Dong Yunshan called out directly, "You tell me your expectations for the Student Council."

"Me? I hope..." Kimaki Makito avoided Iroha Isshiki's gaze, "I hope that while the president can maintain a good relationship with the other Student Council, she can also fight for the rights and interests of her own Student Council, and keep everyone's workload within a reasonable range."

Dong Yunshan nodded. "Iroha?"

"I also want to reduce my workload. I'm really annoyed by all the work I've been doing these past few days," Iroha Isshiki replied, distressed. "But... because I didn't participate in the discussions during the meetings, I'm only responsible for the work afterward."

"What are your thoughts on the issues we're discussing?" Dong Yunshan looked to the other side.

"If you don't speak, Chairman, we can't offer our opinions," Inamura Jun pointed out the key issue. "And now that you've agreed... we can't very well deny your idea, can we?"

Dong Yunshan: "Colorful..."

Iroha Isshiki said, looking aggrieved, "I didn't understand any of it, and I didn't know how to object. Every time I paused for a long time before answering, it was because I was waiting for your feedback..."

"Compared to the other Student Council, you're already at a disadvantage," Sawako Fujisawa said weakly. "If we point fingers at you, it will only make you seem... even more pathetic."

Iroha Isshiki stood there dumbfounded. She had thought everyone was laughing at her, just like those who had signed her up for the election.

Unexpectedly...

"Hey~" Dong Yunshan raised her index finger, "Speaking of which, I've got a good idea."

Chapter 628 I wasn't praising you

"This inspiration still came from you." Dong Yunshan massaged Yukino Yukinoshita's shoulders and neck. "Since Iroha's abilities are indeed insufficient to lead the meeting, why not have an open and honest discussion and get along better with her fellow Student Council members first?"

"This is indeed something we didn't consider carefully." Yukino Yukinoshita leaned her head against Dong Yunshan's body, a hint of weariness between her brows. "From our perspective, the issues at the meeting are easy to resolve; the relationships between Student Council members are more difficult. But Iroha believes that relationships with companions can be built up eventually; the current event is the most pressing issue that we don't know where to begin."

"This is where the deviation occurred. Our idea, and the solutions we devised based on that idea, were to solve relationship problems by solving activity problems," Dong Yunshan said gently. "But she only focused on solving activity problems, which ultimately led to our solutions, intended to address the root cause, remaining superficial in practice."

"So it's good to have an open and honest chat." Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly. "And what was the result?"

"At first, I had to host, but they started chatting on their own afterwards." Dong Yunshan smiled. "It's quite interesting, actually. The vice president and the accountant wanted to take care of the junior student, so they didn't dare to put too much pressure on her. The secretary empathized with her and didn't want to pressure Iroha too much either. On the other hand, Iroha had to show respect to the senior students, but because she was forced to sign up, she was wary of others."

"So until you let them have a proper chat, their interactions have been purely superficial..." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly, "And Iroha just happens to be good at this."

"It's really just a matter of understanding the underlying principles. Now that we've finished talking, let's see how it goes tomorrow. If it still doesn't work, we'll try other methods." Dong Yunshan paused in her work. "Your shoulders and neck seem more tense than usual. Have you been under too much pressure lately?"

Komachi Hikigaya is in charge of design, Yui Yuigahama is in charge of operating the official account, and Saki Kawasaki is in charge of product development. These are the core members of Cloud Snow Tea, but they also have a lot of other work to do.

To meet the Christmas promotions, the Tokyo Branch only had one month to prepare.

Although the main store was at a similar time, the person in charge of execution was a college student Haruno Yukinoshita, who had more free time.

For Yukino Yukinoshita, she has theoretical knowledge in many things but lacks her older sister's rich practical experience, so she inevitably encounters some unexpected problems.

Business entity registration and various permit applications, tax registration and lease agreement signing, opening new corporate bank accounts in the name of branches, establishing detailed expense ledgers, setting up initial books, determining accounting standards... Even if you don't need to do these things personally, you still need to keep a close eye on the progress and find ways to speed things up.

Finalizing the renovation plan with the design company and construction team, supervising the construction progress and quality, and completing the installation and acceptance of infrastructure such as fire protection, air conditioning, and ventilation... Even though it's a company at home, Yukino Yukinoshita can't be completely at ease and always has to pay close attention.

The equipment procurement and installation were relatively simple, thanks to the head office's experience.

As for establishing the supply chain system and identifying suppliers and signing contracts, it needs to start from scratch because of the different branch locations and the different raw materials for new products.

In contrast, signing contracts with cold chain logistics companies and coordinating delivery times with multiple suppliers is the simplest part, thanks to the availability of Cloud Flash Delivery.

In addition to these, there's team building and training, testing of the operating system, marketing and promotion, and material preparation...

Even with experience from the head office, adjustments must be made based on the location and product differences of each branch.

Adjustments like this can have far-reaching consequences, affecting everything around the issue.

For example, the Tokyo Branch is located in the basement, so the store design needs to add large floor-to-ceiling windows to increase the overall sense of openness and make up for the disadvantage of the floor level.

At the same time, the closed layout of the main store should be broken, and the street design with island counters and semi-open seating should be integrated into the overall space.

Because of its location at a traffic hub, in order to avoid queuing and obstructing the flow of people and creating a bad impression, the counter needs to be set at a 45-degree angle to the main passage to optimize the flow of people.

Accordingly, the store design needs to be changed, the training manual needs to be revised, and the photo booth area needs to be redesigned...

Yukino Yukinoshita gently shook her head. "It's alright, it's just the beginning, I'm a little unaccustomed to it yet, it always takes time."

Although there was a lot of work to be done, as each task was completed, from theory to practice, Yukino Yukinoshita felt a sense of accomplishment she had never experienced before at home.

This vaguely reminded Yukino Yukinoshita of the satisfaction she felt when the correction of the Dong Yunshan was initially effective.

Whether it was her imagination or not, thinking about this made Yukino Yukinoshita feel as if a sense of satisfaction was truly filling her chest.

It's getting a little swollen...

Is this really a sense of satisfaction?

It seems more like it only happens when there's dissatisfaction...

Yukino Yukinoshita.

It doesn't seem like my imagination...

"Hmm?" Dong Yunshan noticed her unusual behavior and immediately stopped. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"It hurts a little..." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly, turning her gaze to Dong Yunshan, "Did you... use too much force yesterday?"

"It's possible." Dong Yunshan frowned, feeling guilty. "Let me check."

"I can do it myself..."

"I know it better than you do."

Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but couldn't find a reason to do so.

After all, aside from taking a bath, Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't checked her over very carefully.

Dong Yunshan ate and took things every day, loving them and praising them endlessly, as if she really knew her situation better than she did.

Dong Yunshan's hand slid down her back without any bend, directly touching the back button. Then, with a pinch of his fingers, he unbuttoned the back button through the uniform shirt.

Then, with another flick of her finger, the buttons on her uniform shirt were easily undone.

Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly. "Aren't you being a little too skilled?"

"I feel I still have room for improvement."

"I wasn't praising you..." Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly.

Dong Yunshan reached out and lifted the unbuttoned blouse, gazing intently at Yukino.

Although it wasn't the first time he had stared at her, Yukino Yukinoshita still blushed uncontrollably.

Dong Yunshan's gaze felt like a tangible touch, inch by inch seeping into her snow-white skin, as if he would pounce on her at any moment... Hmm?

Yukino Yukinoshita noticed that Dong Yunshan's gaze was somewhat solemn, completely different from her usual Mianmian demeanor.

Could it be... that something really has gone wrong?
