Yukinoshita's Correction Method
"In some ways, Sister Haruno is still quiet." Dong Yunshan nudged Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, gesturing for her to continue touching it. "It feels a bit like a cat passing by, and you reach out to pet it. But mother-in-law..."
Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly, her three hands unconsciously tracing the abs of Dong Yunshan: "She'll be put in the 96 cage for discipline. 460."
"Sister Haruno usually creates small, mischievous troubles, but my mother-in-law really influences the bigger picture," Dong Yunshan whispered. "Sister Haruno is her proxy and the executor of her plans."
"So, my older sister can only play pranks within the limits that Mom allows." Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly realized, "When bigger issues arise, she has no right to decide, nor does she know how to react. She needs to communicate with Mom."
Yukino Yukinoshita a strange sense of déjà vu; her delicate eyebrows are slightly furrowed as she ponders earnestly.
Haruno Yukinoshita: Yunshan, Mom said that as long as you work hard, your family will support you.
Dong Yunshan: I'm currently working on a big project, it needs to be done like this first... then like this... I know you don't understand, go home and ask an adult.
Snow Mother: So Yunshan had this plan? Then we really can't rush things now.
"You..." Yukino Yukinoshita raised her eyes, her pink cheeks slightly puffed out, "Isn't this just deceiving the elderly and fooling children?"
"Oh no, we've been found out." Dong Yunshan feigned alertness. "We have to find a way to keep this quiet."
"Shut up--mmm~" Yukino Yukinoshita's slightly parted cherry lips were captured, and the sound she hadn't finished saying turned into a muffled hum.
"How can you seal your mouth like that..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her moist cherry lips and pinched him reproachfully, "You just wanted to kiss me."
Dong Yunshan approached again. "We've been discovered again..."
"Shut up!" Yukino Yukinoshita covered his mouth, her face serious. "Is that final form you're talking about really impossible to achieve?"
"If it can be done, then it's not deception, right?" Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's cute nose. "You still dislike lying so much—it can actually be done."
Yukino Yukinoshita her cherry lips slightly, almost biting his finger. "What's the specific method?"
"Simply put, it's a flywheel cycle driven by supply and demand," Dong Yunshan explained briefly. "The more stores there are, the greater the demand for raw materials. Producing raw materials in-house not only significantly reduces costs but also allows control over core ingredients and formulas, making the product difficult to imitate. Simultaneously, controlling quality across the entire supply chain builds brand trust, leading to more stores and creating even greater demand—ultimately forming a positive cycle."
Yukino Yukinoshita blinked. "Direct from the factory... no, it means the drinks grow directly from our own land, minimizing costs in the process."
"You put it much more concisely than I could," Dong Yunshan said, holding up three fingers. "To achieve a super supply chain, you need large-scale standardized demand, controllable low-cost upstream suppliers, and strong headquarters management."
"To achieve large-scale demand, a large number of stores are needed, but franchisees have strong bargaining power and operational autonomy, making it impossible for headquarters to maintain control." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly. "The biggest problem is low-cost upstream supply...producers take priority."
"JA monopolizes the agricultural product distribution channels and adheres to a producer-first, protectionist pricing principle... although I feel it's more about Agricultural Cooperative taking the lead." Dong Yunshan smirked. "In short, because of JA's existence, we can't directly connect with large-scale production bases, and we have no bargaining power."
A super supply chain is indeed achievable.
Java has already implemented this.
In addition to providing seeds, fertilizers, and agricultural machinery, it is also responsible for purchasing, processing, and selling agricultural products. Through unified standards and guidelines, it ensures that agricultural products meet high quality and safety standards, and provides financial, insurance, and even medical and elderly care services.
Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly, "Since the problem is so obvious, Mom should have noticed it too."
In this way, Dong Yunshan's empty promises were instantly exposed.
"My mother-in-law will not only find that the pie in my sky is hard to achieve, but she will also find that... rushing to expand the scale is not a good idea." Dong Yunshan blinked. "The reason why Cloud Snow Tea and JA get along well now is because Cloud Snow Tea is a limited scale. If it becomes a large-scale chain store, JA will not be so friendly."
Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache. "The Construction Faction and the Agricultural and Forestry Faction..."
As her father is a member of the Chiba Prefecture, Yukino Yukinoshita has some knowledge of this situation.
The most direct conflict between the Construction Faction and agriculture/ Agricultural and Forestry Faction lies in land use.
Urban development, industrial zone construction, and road expansion driven by Construction Faction often require the occupation of farmland.
The Agricultural and Forestry Faction are committed to protecting farmland and opposing unrestrained development.
In addition, agricultural subsidies and public works expenditures always make up the bulk of the fiscal budget.
The Construction Faction and the Agricultural and Forestry Faction are in direct competition; if one side gets a little more, the other side will get a little less.
This has led to various forms of competition and strategic maneuvering.
For example, when the Construction Faction promotes a development project, they must promise to provide high compensation to the affected farmers or build new agricultural facilities; otherwise, the Agricultural and Forestry Faction will obstruct it in every possible way.
If Cloud Snow Tea develops rapidly in the future and opens a large number of stores...
When the Construction Faction forcibly pushes forward a development project, the Agricultural and Forestry Faction may directly raise fruit prices and then recoup the profits through Cloud Snow Tea's numerous stores.
The more Cloud Snow Tea helps Yukinoshita Family, the more Yukinoshita Family will invest in Cloud Snow Tea. The larger the scale of Cloud Snow Tea, the higher the cost. JA can then increase costs by controlling pricing, causing greater damage to the Yukinoshita Family's profits.
Therefore, the greater the help, the greater the harm.
Yukino Yukinoshita frowned, unable to accept this situation where development was becoming increasingly restrictive.
"Alright, alright." Dong Yunshan smoothed the wrinkles between Yukino Yukinoshita's brows. "I said all this to annoy my mother-in-law, not to annoy her daughter."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "But this problem..."
"When it really happens, I'll handle it." Dong Yunshan leaned down. "As for now... we have more important things to do."
Chapter 729 A Little Closer
"This is what you meant by... more important?" Yukino Yukinoshita held onto Dong Yunshan's head tightly, adjusting her breathing while he was behaving himself. "Terrible~"
"I barely managed to hold back in the tent..." Dong Yunshan whispered, her lips brushing against her soft skin, "And you kept snuggling into my arms."
Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her lips tightly together.
Just as she had anticipated.
The tingling vibrations produced by the soft whisper of the Dong Yunshan create an even more captivating sensation when they touch areas beyond the fingertips.
"I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to make you think that way..." Yukino Yukinoshita protested innocently, "I just... wanted to get closer to you..."
Dong Yunshan looked up. "Isn't being this close enough?"
"The thought of getting even closer..." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was weak, "... it just doesn't feel like enough."
"How about this?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze shifted downwards, then, as if burned, turned away again. "Could we get even closer~"
"Then..." Dong Yunshan suddenly stopped, "How about you control the distance?"
"You..." Yukino Yukinoshita hugged Dong Yunshan's neck, "Help me."
Dong Yunshan embraced Yukino Yukinoshita, supporting her back with both hands, and gently turned her around, switching their positions.
Yukino Yukinoshita, supporting Dong Yunshan's shoulders, adjusted her position little by little, and stopped under his excited and expectant gaze...
"Mmm~" Her soft body nestled against Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was melodious, "This distance is just right."
"Huh?" Dong Yunshan shifted slightly in protest. "It could probably be even better."
"Don't move around. You said I had to control it." Yukino Yukinoshita complained with a straight face, but couldn't hide the cute, smug smile on her lips. "So you should listen to me. You're not allowed to move on your own..."
"Alright then." Dong Yunshan sighed softly and closed her eyes.
"Hmm?" Yukino Yukinoshita gently poked his cheek with her delicate white fingertips, leaving a small dent. "Why are your eyes closed?"
"There's nothing I can do," Dong Yunshan said helplessly, "I'm smitten when I see you, so I can only close my eyes and try to control myself."
"Saying something like this at a time like this on purpose..." Yukino Yukinoshita tightened her grip slightly. "Open your eyes."
"Then my heart is going to start fluttering..." Dong Yunshan slowly opened her eyes, meeting Yukino Yukinoshita blue gaze.
His voice faded and eventually disappeared completely.
Because... his fiancée in his arms had eyes as clear as water, her glistening lips pressed together, and her long, flowing hair swaying gently, sending shivers of pleasure through his body.
Yukino Yukinoshita her eyelids slightly, turning her flushed cheeks to the side to avoid his gaze, which seemed to solidify into reality.
Then, as if suddenly remembering that she was the one who made him open his eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita turned her face back.
With her delicate brows slightly furrowed, Yukino Yukinoshita gazed into Dong Yunshan's eyes, adjusting her breathing little by little.
Her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed as her slender body trembled slightly, and her cherry lips, which had been pressed together, parted slightly, releasing a warm breath that carried a melodious voice.
"Brother~" Yukino Yukinoshita in Dong Yunshan's ear, "Welcome back~"
A gentle whisper reached my ears, and its tenderness seeped into my heart.
Dong Yunshan tightened her arms, wanting to go further--
"Good boy~" Yukino Yukinoshita gently bit his ear as a warning, "I told you to listen to me."
"...Gulp." Dong Yunshan's Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to suppress his urge.
"Actually..." Yukino Yukinoshita kissed his earlobe soothingly, "You have many thoughts you haven't told me, right?"
"...Yes." Dong Yunshan honestly admitted, "This... um... there are indeed many. I always have all sorts of ideas, one pops up every now and then. If I were to tell you about them all, I wouldn't finish in a whole day. Most importantly, many ideas are rejected by myself before they even take shape. And some ideas, although they take shape, cannot be implemented for other reasons."
"You're very honest~" Yukino Yukinoshita said softly, "I'll reward you with one, two, three... No, let's stop here for now..."
Slightly out of breath, Yukino Yukinoshita nuzzled against Dong Yunshan's neck. "But it's not enough."
Dong Yunshan: "I feel the same way."
"It wasn't about the reward," Yukino Yukinoshita gently pinched him. "There are other reasons, right?"
"I... don't want you to worry too much." Dong Yunshan sighed softly. "Although our personalities have changed to some extent because of the previous corrections, we're still somewhat different. I can let many things go after a while, and if something else happens, I might even forget about the past. But you..."
"I'll keep thinking about it~ keep thinking about it~" Yukino Yukinoshita swayed slightly, "Thinking left and right, the more unclear it is, the more I want to figure it out..."
"And what you've been pondering so deeply might just be a passing whim of mine." Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's slender waist. "I didn't want to utter a casual idea that would cause you so much distress."
"It was because your sister suddenly said those things today, and because I kept asking, that you had to say a little more, and then you started to worry, right?" Yukino Yukinoshita twisted her body slightly. "Don't try to hide it from me."
"My worries weren't unfounded, were they?" Dong Yunshan tilted his head and kissed her cheek. "You did think a lot just now."
"I don't deny that, but..." Yukino Yukinoshita, supporting herself on Dong Yunshan's shoulders, sat up slightly, looking down at him, "After noticing your concerns, I dispelled my own."
"You mean..." Dong Yunshan reached out and tucked her soft hair behind her ear, "... your dependence on me?"
"Mmm." Yukino Yukinoshita rubbed her warm cheek against Dong Yunshan's palm. "I've been telling myself that because you're here, I don't need to worry. When problems really arise, you'll definitely have a solution. This makes me feel like I'm relying on you too much, and it also makes me a little worried that this reliance will become a burden for you—making it hard for you to breathe."
"I feel..." Dong Yunshan blinked, "I really like it, this kind of burden and pressure right now."
Chapter 730 Returning Home
Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head slightly in protest. "I'm being serious~"
Dong Yunshan took a deep breath. "If you keep doing this, I might start acting inappropriately."
"No~" Yukino Yukinoshita and gently pecked his lips. "You have to... restrain yourself."
"Do you really want me to restrain myself?" Dong Yunshan felt that her actions were more like encouragement.
"Of course it's true." Yukino Yukinoshita said seriously, "I haven't finished yet."
"Let's continue... Where were we?"
"Speaking of which..." Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyes slightly, "I'm worried that you're under too much pressure."
"It's pressed very well."
Yukino Yukinoshita frowned. "If you keep doing this, I'm going to sleep."
"What I mean is, your dependence on me is a pleasure, especially when you've eliminated my worries." Dong Yunshan tried to sound serious. "So... how did you eliminate them?"
"That's how it was eliminated." Yukino Yukinoshita shifted slightly. "I don't think it's a big deal to worry about something just because of your idea. When I thought your worries were unnecessary, I started to wonder... whether my worries were also unnecessary."
"I think I suddenly understand," Dong Yunshan said with a sudden realization. "For me, considering too many details is a very tiring thing, but for you, it's just routine planning and analysis, and you have a well-established method."
"For me, facing the unknown without a plan is a very difficult thing." Yukino Yukinoshita and gently touched Dong Yunshan's nose with the tip of her nose. "But for you, those sudden problems are just unexpected little surprises in the process of achieving your goals."
"I'm not good at detailed planning, so I find planning very difficult. I exaggerated that difficulty because I was worried about you." Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita. "But the actual situation isn't that exaggerated."
"I'm not good at dealing with unexpected situations, so I find unknown problems troublesome. Out of concern for you, I've exaggerated the potential difficulties." Yukino Yukinoshita lips lightly touched Dong Yunshan's lips. "But for you, the unknown is a little more interesting than the known outcome."
Dong Yunshan whispered, "So you don't need to worry about me being under too much pressure, you can rely on me a little more..."
"You don't need to worry about me overthinking." Yukino Yukinoshita's warm breath lingered on his face. "You can tell me more about your thoughts."
"I have an idea right now."
Yukino Yukinoshita blue eyes sparkled. "Tell me."
"I've been very worried about your health..." Dong Yunshan blinked. "Is my worry unnecessary?"
"That's not how you apply the conclusion." Yukino Yukinoshita, jade-like ears turned red.
"I see..."
"However..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly, "You can give it a try."
Dong Yunshan instantly perked up.

"Not here!" Yukino Yukinoshita hurriedly pressed her hand to his chest. "Wait... wait until we get home..."
