Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Her voice, strained to be restrained, was like a sob, lingering in Dong Yunshan's ear as a series of light, disordered kisses.

"Xixi so cute..." Yukino Yukinoshita gently nibbled Dong Yunshan's ear, "But she'll be going home after the New Year."

Dong Yunshan's already rapid heartbeat accelerated further. "So you want to..."

"It's all because you were always thinking about the baby." Yukino Yukinoshita took a deep breath. "What you were thinking about... um~ of course I was thinking about it..."

"So you wanted a baby." Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's back. "I thought you liked..."

"Ouch!" Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her head and bit his shoulder, only letting go after a while. "Can't you... like them both?"

Dong Yunshan grasped her slender waist. "What do you like?"

"Let me go..." Yukino Yukinoshita twisted and turned like a little mermaid, protesting softly.

"Don't move." Dong Yunshan's eyes held a smile. "Unless you explain clearly... then stay like this."

"...Terrible." Yukino Yukinoshita her lower lip and glared at him. "You said it yourself."

Dong Yunshan: "Huh?"

"Don't move." Yukino Yukinoshita cupped Dong Yunshan's face. "If you dare to move..."

With her cheeks puffed out slightly, Yukino Yukinoshita angrily warned, "I won't have your baby!"

In an instant, Dong Yunshan's heart skipped a beat, as if she wanted to cheer and leap into Yukino Yukinoshita's arms.

"I..." Dong Yunshan's Adam's apple bobbed as he stared blankly at Yukino Yukinoshita, who was so close to him. "Now that you mention it, I..."

"Don't know what to do now, huh~" Yukino Yukinoshita smugly chuckled, her moist cherry lips curving into a beautiful smile, her icy blue eyes shimmering. "Let's see if you dare bully me again~"

"I was wrong," Dong Yunshan said sincerely. "Tell me... how should I make it up to you?"

"Tell me~" Yukino Yukinoshita raised her fair chin, "Tell me what you like?"

Dong Yunshan gently kissed her slightly upturned cherry lips. "I like you."

"Hmm~" Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in satisfaction, shaking her head as if as a reward. "Anything else?"

"And I also like..." Dong Yunshan whispered in her warm, jade-like ear, "I love you."

"And another thing~" Yukino Yukinoshita tried to keep a straight face, but she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes and brows. "Go on~"

"And..." Dong Yunshan whispered, "I like loving you like this on the sofa, in the kitchen, in the bathroom, at the dining table..."

"Shut up!" Yukino Yukinoshita hurriedly raised her hand to cover his mouth, which was reciting a list of love stories. "What kind of love are you talking about?"

Dong Yunshan's voice was muffled. "An uncontrollable love."

"You barely pass." Yukino Yukinoshita twisted her body slightly. "Anything else? What else do you want? Tell me in detail~"

"I want..." Dong Yunshan pulled Yukino Yukinoshita closer to him, "I want you to have my baby~"

She actually said it... Yukino Yukinoshita's heart skipped a beat.

No wonder Dong Yunshan wanted her to tell her so much just now.

Although I knew that Dong Yunshan shared the same thoughts as me, actually hearing him say it out loud... was a completely different feeling.

"I know~" Yukino Yukinoshita murmured softly, "Because I also want... our little baby."

Dong Yunshan gently stroked her back. "Then I can now..."

"Hmm..." Yukino Yukinoshita responded softly, "You can continue... continue to work hard now."

Chapter 671 Watching You

When Dong Yunxi finished her afternoon nap, Yukino Yukinoshita also needed to rest for a while.

Dong Yunshan played with Xixi for a while, and seeing that she was having a great time, she didn't disturb her and used her computer to organize the emails she received.

The Kyoto Branch was managed by Haruno Yukinoshita, and Dong Yunshan only glanced at the briefing.

Although it's close to the end of the year, it's still winter break, so the number of customers is still quite good.

There should be another small surge of energy around the time of the first shrine visit.

The Tokyo Branch has a store manager, Kana, who was transferred from the Chiba main store. The briefing she sent included detailed metrics such as total sales, average transaction value, and average daily customer traffic.

It briefly explains the market feedback on the brand concept and the effectiveness of the opening marketing activities.

The feedback included issues such as insufficient supply and bottlenecks in the operational process, as well as the situation where excessively high coffee sales were squeezing out the promotion of milk tea and fruit tea.

The next steps in the action plan were proposed, including but not limited to supply chain optimization, operational efficiency improvement, product and marketing strategy adjustments, and further team training.

The appendix also includes a detailed sales data report for the first week and a selection of customer social media reviews.

Dong Yunshan carefully reviewed the sales and cost data, compared the length and wording of various contents, analyzed whether there were any issues of downplaying the important points, delved into the causal relationship between problems and actions, and extracted the unspoken information in the briefing to judge the team's status.

When he was leading the team, he wrote many briefings.

Such techniques are readily employed: demonstrating professionalism and responsibility through in-depth reflection on minor issues, using technical adjustments as an excuse to cover up the seriousness of problems, sincerely admitting mistakes on trivial matters to avoid delving into core issues, and emphasizing procedural justice to cover up failures in the end.

The techniques for writing briefings back then are still just as useful for reading them now.

The issue of excessively high coffee sales squeezing out the promotion of milk tea and fruit tea can also be interpreted as insufficient profitability of the Tokyo Branch, or the promotion of other products not meeting expectations.

The former's main point is that coffee sales are so good that other products are not selling well.

The latter is... sales of products other than coffee are not very good.

They are talking about the same thing, but the feelings they evoke are completely different.

After reading the briefing, Dong Yunshan dialed Kana's number. "Hello, this is Dong Yunshan."

"Boss." Kana had already met Dong Yunshan back at the main store. "Hello."

"I've reviewed the briefing." Dong Yunshan paused. "Find a front desk clerk who's temporarily free."

"Okay, please wait a moment." Kana quickly found a shop assistant. "The hands-free is already on."

"Hmm, what is kale?"

"Kale is a type of vegetable in the Brassica genus, related to broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage," the shop assistant answered fluently. "It's low in calories, high in fiber, and rich in various vitamins and minerals, making it very beneficial to health."

Dong Yunshan pressed on, "How does it taste?"

"Kale has a slightly bitter taste with a hint of grass," the clerk continued. "We've adjusted the kale, balancing the bitterness with sweet fruit, adding chia seeds for a unique texture, and using jasmine needle tea as a base. This makes it more refreshing and mellow while preserving the kale's flavor."

"What specific fruits were added?"

"We have apples, green grapes..." the clerk hesitated, "Uh... lemons..."

"Alright, go to work," Dong Yunshan called out, "Kana."

"Boss, this is my negligence..."

"The unit price of coffee is too low, and with operating costs, you can't make much money per cup." Dong Yunshan didn't criticize too much, but went straight to the point, "After all, the coffee market is mature and prices are stable, but the Kale Slim Bottle is different. As a new beverage, we have a certain degree of pricing power—selling one cup can earn us the equivalent of three cups of coffee. But precisely because it's new, we need to cultivate the market ourselves. The Kale Slim Bottle isn't just a product, but a new concept, a pioneering series. Coffee determines temporary popularity, while healthy beverages can provide sustained revenue."

"I understand. I'll refine the training and prepare for further promotion."

"Hmm, focus on dietary fiber supplementation, creating maximum value visualization. Display fresh kale in the most prominent position in the ordering area, with cards explaining its origin and nutritional value." Dong Yunshan pondered for a moment, "The promotional language could be something like, 'Do you need to supplement your dietary fiber today?' Also, lower the barrier to trying it..."

Dong Yunshan was speaking when Dong Yunxi, who had finished playing with her toys, put them down and looked over curiously.

After their eyes met, the baby stood up, slowly walked over, and pounced on Dong Yunshan's lap.

The tiny, soft baby looked up at him and exclaimed, "Ah-ka-ka-ya-na!"

"In short, it's normal for the sales of Kale Slim Bottle to lag behind coffee in the short term, but we can't give up on promoting them because of that." Dong Yunshan glanced down at Xixi, then reached out and hugged her. "Plan out the more specific methods yourself and send them to me later."

"Yes, boss," Kana replied.

After hanging up the phone, Dong Yunshan looked at her younger sister in her arms. "What's wrong, Xixi? Do you want to hear a story?"

"Ah!" Xixi raised her little hand and reached for his phone, "I want it!"

"That won't do." Dong Yunshan flicked her finger, hiding the phone. "How about your brother reads you a story? How about we look at this one, 'Hide and Seek'?"

"Ah..." Upon seeing the brightly colored picture book, tide Baobao's attention was immediately drawn.

"This is a little bunny, the little bunny is hiding~" Dong Yunshan explained to her, "Where is the little bunny hiding? Let's find it..."

"Look, look~" Dong Yunxi imitated in a childish voice.

After finishing the picture book, Dong Yunxi left Dong Yunshan's embrace to play with building blocks.

Dong Yunshan wanted to play with her, but was rejected.

"Hmm..." Yukino Yukinoshita, who had just woken up, came out of the bedroom, looking somewhat dazed. She slowly walked to Dong Yunshan's side, hugged his neck, and sat on his lap. "Brother..."

Dong Yunshan supported her waist. "Are you awake?"

"Hmm~" Yukino Yukinoshita leaned lazily against his shoulder, her voice muffled, "How long have I been asleep?"

Dong Yunshan glanced at the time. "A little over an hour."

"That's been a long time..." Yukino Yukinoshita nuzzled against his neck. "Where's Xixi?"

Dong Yunshan chuckled softly, "I'm watching you."

Chapter 672 Let's Discuss

Yukino Yukinoshita sleepiness completely vanished, and she stiffly turned her head little by little, meeting Shio's innocent and pure gaze.

"Xixi..." Yukino Yukinoshita released her arms from Dong Yunshan, straightened her disheveled skirt, pushed Dong Yunshan's arm away, and stood up with her hands on his shoulders. "Um... Sister is... um... chatting with brother."

Dong Yunxi tilted her head, then looked away and gazed at the picture book beside her.

Yukino Yukinoshita breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately felt the strength of Dong Yunshan's arms.

Holding Yukino Yukinoshita's slender waist, he helped her sit back in his lap, and Dong Yunshan smiled as he reminded her, "Baby won't think anything."

"What if?" Yukino Yukinoshita poked his cheek and complained softly, "Why didn't you remind me?"

"Because you look so cute when you're all sleepy and groggy after just waking up." Dong Yunshan tilted her head and bit her delicate white fingertip. "So I wanted to look at you a little longer."

"Don't bite..." Yukino Yukinoshita's fingers retracted, then straightened again, lingering briefly at Dong Yunshan's lips before beginning a further exploration, "Was Xixi good when I was asleep?"

"She's very well-behaved," Dong Yunshan said in a muffled voice. "She plays by herself most of the time; I just keep an eye on her and also took some time to communicate with the Tokyo Branch."

"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita pulled her finger out. "Tokyo... No!"

As she spoke, she looked at Dong Yunxi and suddenly noticed that Xi Bao was holding the pages of the picture book upright with her little hands.

Then hold the two sides of the same page with both hands.

What they want to do is quite obvious.

Dong Yunxi kept holding the book pages, looking at Yukino Yukinoshita with curiosity, her big eyes full of confusion.

Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her voice. "Xixi, picture books are for reading, not..."

Sizzle--~

With a quick tug, tide Bao tore off a page from the book.

Holding the book pages to her ear, Dong Yunxi tilted her head and said, "Wait~"

"..." Yukino Yukinoshita sighed helplessly, turning to look at Dong Yunshan, "You made a phone call in front of her?"

"I thought she was playing quite intently on her own," Dong Yunshan added. "Later, she asked me for my phone number, so I distracted her with picture books... I thought she had forgotten about it."

"They can even make their own little cell phones now." Yukino Yukinoshita leaned against Dong Yunshan. "That's a good thing."

Most picture books designed for toddlers over one year old have tear-resistant features and are made of cardboard or cloth.

When I bought these thin pages, I didn't expect them to last long.

"You're so kind, sister?" Dong Yunshan tightened her arms, enjoying the warmth of Yukino Yukinoshita's embrace. "I want to be a little cell phone too~"

"Huh?" Yukino Yukinoshita, puzzled. "What kind of small cell phone are you trying to make?"

"Your black pantyhose from before—ugh!"

Yukino Yukinoshita, unable to bear it any longer, covered Dong Yunshan's mouth. "What are you saying in front of a child?"

Dong Yunshan blinked. "Waaaaah!"

"You can't help it if you don't understand." Yukino Yukinoshita glared fiercely at Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita got down to business, "What's going on at the Tokyo Branch?"

"It's nothing serious," Dong Yunshan briefly explained the problem they had discovered earlier.

"This situation was somewhat expected; promoting the Kale Series takes time..." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, "But will continuing large-scale promotion really achieve the desired results?"

Although the Kale Series beverage line was Yukino Yukinoshita 'Yukino Yukinoshita idea, she herself wasn't very confident about it.

Compared to the well-established coffee market, Kale Series beverages are a bit too new.
