Yukinoshita's Correction Method
After learning that Yukino Yukinoshita was serving as the operations supervisor for the Tokyo Branch, Kana volunteered to take charge of the Tokyo Branch's operations.
The operations supervisor is different from the store manager who is specifically responsible for the daily operation of a store. Their job focuses on supervising and improving standards.
The main responsibilities include supervising operational standards, controlling service quality, managing sales performance, assisting with personnel management, coordinating the supply chain, handling customer feedback, and supporting new product promotion, etc.
"There are still some issues with the customer flow. We need to readjust the equipment locations. This store is different from Chiba, so the equipment needs to be adjusted accordingly to prevent employees from bumping into each other in the preparation area." Yukino Yukinoshita reviewed the issues she had noted down. "The zoning needs to be further clarified. We need to use more prominent stickers to mark the ordering area, waiting area, food pickup area... and also a check-in area to guide customer flow. For detailed hygiene, refer to the <Deep Cleaning Checklist>, conduct white glove checks, and ensure that all hard-to-reach areas are cleaned before opening, especially equipment that comes into direct contact with food..."
Considering that she was here for work, Yukino Yukinoshita made a point of returning to her apartment and choosing a more formal outfit.
To be honest, if it weren't for needing to get her clothes, Yukino Yukinoshita would have almost forgotten about the apartment.
The finely textured grey boots hugged her calves, with snow-white fur embellishing the tops, creating a striking contrast with the ultra-fitted black trousers, further highlighting the slenderness and length of her legs.
The white coat worn over it is the perfect finishing touch. The double-layered collar combines warmth with an elegant design, while the loose silhouette and just the right length create a sophisticated sense of layering.
Yukino Yukinoshita stared down at the notebook in her hand, her long hair piled up revealing her smooth, white nape, which captivated Dong Yunshan's gaze.
"Hmm?" As if sensing Dong Yunshan's audacious gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "Old... Yunshan, you've come at the perfect time."
"What's wrong?" Dong Yunshan approached.
"I feel the previous tests weren't enough; we need some more difficult customers," Yukino Yukinoshita explained briefly. "You act it out to test the staff's emergency response capabilities."
"No problem." Dong Yunshan walked to the order area. "Give me a bubble tea."
"Okay." The employee smiled and asked, "Would you like it iced or hot?"
Dong Yunshan raised an eyebrow. "What?"
The clerk raised his voice. "Excuse me! Would you like it iced or hot?"
"No, why are you shouting like that?" Dong Yunshan frowned, complaining irritably, "What kind of attitude is that?"
The shop assistant was stunned.
"Can't you speak properly when you're ordering?" Dong Yunshan clicked her tongue. "Why are you being so rude!"
The shop assistant forced an awkward smile, "Um... you didn't hear me clearly, I was thinking..."
"Who would drink something ice-cold on such a cold day?" Dong Yunshan said in an unfriendly tone. "If you really wanted to, you wouldn't have asked that question."
"...Okay." The clerk took a deep breath. "Please wait a moment."
"Hmm." Dong Yunshan nodded. "You handled it quite well."
"You..." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache, "Do customers like that really exist?"
"The world is full of wonders." Dong Yunshan smirked. "After you're done, tell them you don't want the pearls and want a refill."
Shop assistant. "..."
"If that's the case, just make another one." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed. "What's already made should be dealt with on the spot to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
Chapter 637 Going Out to Gather Materials
"Overall, there are no problems." Yukino Yukinoshita sat on Dong Yunshan's lap with her back to him, staring at the records on the computer screen, "But it feels... a little bit missing."
The Dong Yunshan leaf rested on her flat stomach; her snow-white skin was soft and smooth, and the wonderfully warm touch made him unable to put it down.
Gently massaging her belly, Dong Yunshan pondered for a moment, "... Atmosphere?"
"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head slightly. "What?"
Dong Yunshan leaned down and kissed him. "Just like the Christmas activities that Iroha is busy with, the branch is also opening before Christmas, so there should be some Christmas atmosphere."
Caught off guard, Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly and glared at him, annoyed. "Indeed, the Christmas atmosphere at the branch isn't quite there yet. We need to think of something..."
Before she could finish speaking, Dong Yunshan's phone rang.
Yukino Yukinoshita noticed that Dong Yunshan showed no sign of stopping and called out, "Your phone."
"Help me answer this." Dong Yunshan's hands, which were resting on Yukino Yukinoshita, continued to massage gently. "I can't free my hands right now."
"Can't you massage it later?"
"No," Dong Yunshan said righteously, "I can't bear to let go."
Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, picked up Dong Yunshan's phone, answered the call, and held it to Dong Yunshan's ear.
Dong Yunshan saw the caller ID, tilted her head closer to the phone, and asked, "Hello, teacher, what's up?"
Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice carried a hint of weariness and drunkenness. "Are you free lately?"
"Uh... that's hard to say. It depends on the activities at the Seaside Comprehensive High School and the preparations for the opening of the Tokyo Branch..." Dong Yunshan paused, "But even if I'm busy, I can find someone to help if the teacher is busy."
"That's more like it~" Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice was punctuated by the sound of opening a beer. "No wonder you're the first person I think of when something good happens."
"Good news?"
"I have four Disneyland ticket vouchers here. You and Yukino go play."
"Huh? How could you..." Dong Yunshan's question was cut short as she already had a guess in her mind.
"Ha!" Shizuka Hiratsuka let out a half-laugh, half-mocking sound, her words tinged with utter despair. "This? I won it at the second round of a wedding, and I won twice! So lucky! The emcee even said that if one time wasn't enough, I could play a second time! But since I was alone, I could play four times in a row! Hahahaha!"
Dong Yunshan and Yukino Yukinoshita exchanged a glance, unsure of what to say.
"I'm not really interested in Disney, so you can have it," Shizuka Hiratsuka said, composing herself. "Have fun."
Thinking about how I got these tickets, my heart suddenly felt heavy.
"Thank you so much, teacher, you've been a great help." Dong Yunshan gathered her thoughts. "Yukino and I were just thinking about how to enhance the Christmas atmosphere at the branch, so we can go to 1729 to get some materials."
"Oh, in that case, we could also gather material from the activities at the Seaside Comprehensive High School." Shizuka Hiratsuka had a sudden inspiration. "I'll give Iroha Isshiki one later."
Yukino Yukinoshita seemed to suddenly remember something, patted Dong Yunshan's leg, and her cherry lips moved silently.
"That's perfect," Dong Yunshan said knowingly. "Let's have the teacher join us too."
"No!" Shizuka Hiratsuka refused. "I don't want to go to Disney with you two."
"It's not just us," Dong Yunshan added, "It's also Iroha Isshiki, Yui Yuigahama, Komachi, Saki Kawasaki ... everyone's going together."
This was considered a group activity of the Service Club.
The goal of this activity is to show care and support for teachers living alone.
"I... I think I'll pass," Shizuka Hiratsuka muttered softly. "A teacher and student going to Disney together or something..."
"Of course, group activities need teacher supervision," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "Besides... it's convenient to have a teacher drive us around."
"I'll pay for the tickets, and I'll be your driver?" Shizuka Hiratsuka clicked her tongue. "Well, your mother and I are old friends... Fine~"
Despite speaking reluctantly, Dong Yunshan could clearly hear the joy and anticipation in Shizuka Hiratsuka's voice.
After hanging up the phone, Dong Yunshan murmured, "Seven people, we need to buy three more tickets."
"I have a year-round travel passport," Yukino Yukinoshita said, "So I can buy one less."
Disney is known as a dreamland, so the tickets aren't called tickets, but rather passports to that dreamland.
"Then I'll get one too." Dong Yunshan continued to warm Yukino Yukinoshita's stomach. "I'll also ask about the schedules of the others."
"Hmm." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently. Seeing that Dong Yunshan showed no intention of taking her hands out of her clothes, she had no choice but to do it herself.
Just as she was about to dial the number, she suddenly remembered something, looked up, and reminded Dong Yunshan, "Don't disturb me while I'm on the phone."
"Huh?" Dong Yunshan's eyes lit up. "That reminds me."
"..." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly and softly called out, "Husband~"
"... I won't cause trouble." Dong Yunshan said seriously, "Absolutely not."
Yukino Yukinoshita smiled contentedly and dialed Yui Yuigahama's number, "Yui Yuigahama? This is Yukino... Um, so, Yunshan and I are planning to go to Disney. Do you have time?"
"Disney? That's awesome!" came Yui Yuigahama the other end of the phone. "I've always wanted to... Wait, if you and Yunshan go, I'll..."
"There were other people involved," Yukino Yukinoshita added, "We also commissioned an event to capture the Christmas atmosphere for the Tokyo Branch."
"No wonder you thought of going when there are so many people... No wonder." Yui Yuigahama excitedly replied, "I have time!"
"Alright, Teacher Hiratsuka will be going with us tomorrow." Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama agreed on the time and place to meet.
"Hehehe..." Yui Yuigahama let out a faint laugh.
"Huh?" Yukino Yukinoshita, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing..." Yui Yuigahama's voice was filled with undisguised joy, "I just didn't expect that Little Yukino's invitation to go out would actually happen—I've been looking forward to it for so long~"
Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly as she couldn't help but recall the time when they first met.
At that time, she had absolutely no interest in such group activities.
And now... she's long since gotten used to spending time with the people who matter to her.
When I came to my senses, a faint smile had been lingering on my lips for quite some time.
Chapter 638 Dreamland
"Disney, yay!" Iroha Isshiki cheered on the phone. "Oh, right, can I ask for one more person? I'll take care of the tickets."
"That's up to you," Dong Yunshan replied. "We were going to split up anyway to gather as much material as possible."
"Long live senior!" Iroha Isshiki's voice was full of joy.
--
The weather is getting colder and colder. Yukino Yukinoshita wears black fleece gloves, turns up her collar to keep warm, wraps herself in a tweed scarf, and wears a dark blue pleated dress underneath to balance the plain white of her coat. Black skinny jeans create a sense of layering, and she completes the look with khaki boots, providing excellent warmth.
Dong Yunshan wore a white coat chosen by Yukino Yukinoshita Yukino Yukinoshita, underneath which she paired it with a dark blue cashmere sweater and a white shirt, with the shirt collar and hem slightly peeking out. His khaki casual trousers and black ankle boots echoed the color scheme of Yukino Yukinoshita's outfit.
His coat was open, a matching scarf was casually draped around his neck, and he wasn't wearing gloves.
Yukino Yukinoshita bought it for him, but he felt hot, so he put it in his pocket.
"They're totally wearing matching outfits..." commented Yui Yuigahama.
Shizuka Hiratsuka masked her envy with disdain. "That's why I didn't want to be with you guys."
"It wasn't on purpose," Yukino Yukinoshita muttered softly, holding Dong Yunshan's hand. "I just picked it randomly."
"Even a random choice has this effect..." Komachi Hikigaya looked at Saki Kawasaki, "That means~"
"Matching outfits has become a habit," Saki Kawasaki pointed out incisively. "You subconsciously like this kind of matching outfits."
"I..." Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, but couldn't think of a rebuttal for a moment, so she gently tugged at Dong Yunshan's hand.
"Hasn't Iroha arrived yet?" Dong Yunshan coughed lightly, using her height to look around. "She said she'd bring an extra friend... I see her, over there."
Upon seeing Iroha Isshiki's outfit, Dong Yunshan was genuinely surprised.
Although the sun was shining brightly, it was still quite cold as it was the end of the year.
Shizuka Hiratsuka, who usually wears long pants, goes without saying, Komachi Hikigaya and Saki Kawasaki were also completely covered up.
Even Yui Yuigahama, who pays more attention to her appearance, was fully armed with a sweater, scarf, gloves, mini skirt, and underwear.
The outfit worn by Iroha Isshiki is probably only suitable for autumn. Her skirt, which barely reaches her knees, is completely bare, with no tights underneath, leaving her fair skin directly exposed to the cold air.
Beside her was the person she brought with her— Hayama Hayato.
Hmm... I think I know why now.
Young people these days are really working incredibly hard.
Even the young men of Dong Yunshan wouldn't dare to dress like that.
But then again, is working this hard really necessary?
The question had barely crossed his mind when Dong Yunshan saw Yumiko Miura following closely behind.
She wore a coat and sweater on top, and shorts and bare legs on the bottom.
Then came Hina Ebina was wrapped up tightly, and Tobe Kakeru, who looked excited.
"Hmm?" Shizuka Hiratsuka was somewhat surprised, "So many people?"
Dong Yunshan sighed, "I can roughly guess the reason."
The person Iroha Isshiki was looking for was naturally Hayama Hayato.
When Yumiko Miura found out, she naturally had to intervene.
But it would be a bit awkward for her to join alone, so she also invited Hina Ebina and Tobe Kakeru.
"Good morning, seniors~" Iroha Isshiki greeted them with great enthusiasm.
"Good morning~" Yui Yuigahama was the first to respond.
