Yukinoshita's Correction Method Chapter 425

"It's very simple. Although the Agricultural and Forestry Faction and the Construction Faction have conflicts, they also cooperate quite a bit." Haruno Yukinoshita breathed on the window and drew a triangle with her fingertip. "Just shape Cloud Snow Tea into a public good and a tool for political achievements that all parties must rely on. The Chiba Prefecture Local Product and Consumer Brand Support Ordinance, the Chiba Taste Summit, the Cloud Snow Product Production Committee... these are all on the agenda. Convert political influence into commercial convenience, then convert the brand's commercial success into political capital, and at the same time convert JA's production capacity into market brand value—when this cycle is complete, JA will no longer be able to profit from price increases; instead, it will lose profits."

Chapter 743 College Admission Interview

"Yunshan thought the Agricultural and Forestry Faction and the Construction Faction were opposed to each other, and thought that this would make you give up taking the Cloud Snow Tea ..." Shizuka Hiratsuka's eyes were complicated, "But the relationships in the adult world are not that simple. As long as there are interests involved, opposing sides can also become friends."

"So his warnings were completely ineffective," Haruno Yukinoshita gently wiped away the condensation on the windowpane, "Only allowing him to become blindly optimistic."

"Then why did you tell me?" Shizuka Hiratsuka. "If I had told him, he wouldn't have remained so optimistic; he would have taken more effective measures."

"Isn't that great?" Haruno Yukinoshita laughed. "Otherwise, it would be so boring."

"Your personality hasn't changed." Shizuka Hiratsuka sighed softly. "You just want to see him and your mother at odds, don't you?"

"This is for Yunshan's own good," Haruno Yukinoshita said with a smile. "Only in this way can he unleash more of his potential."

"Then you'll be able to empathize with him," Shizuka Hiratsuka, "And experience the feeling of rebelling against your mother."

The smile on Haruno Yukinoshita's face gradually disappeared, replaced by something colder and more Void: "So, in your eyes, I was such a disobedient child?"

"I actually wish you could be a little rebellious." Shizuka Hiratsuka drove the sports car around a corner. "Or rather, what I hope for, and what you want... is the same."

"What I want?"

"A correct act of rebellion." Shizuka Hiratsuka tightened her grip on the steering wheel. "I've wanted to tell you countless times that you don't have to listen to your family and do what you want to do. But she's right. As your teacher, I can't... and I shouldn't let you make a mistake."

The innocent Haruno Yukinoshita seems to reappear before my eyes, with a playful smile on her face.

In the blink of an eye, the little girl became excellent and perfect; her playful smile disappeared, replaced by a polite smile that was almost unreal.

"You don't have to be so obedient..." Shizuka Hiratsuka gave a wry smile. "If that's the case, the teacher can't say anything, can she?"

"You've already said it." Haruno Yukinoshita's eyelids lowered slightly. "I heard you."

"Because you're no longer my student." Shizuka Hiratsuka reached for her cigarette case.

Smack

Haruno Yukinoshita slapped her hand away. "Focus on driving."

"Hey!" Shizuka Hiratsuka protested, "Can't you show a little more respect to your teacher?"

"You're not my teacher anymore, although I never really considered you one anyway." Haruno Yukinoshita blinked. "Besides, I also want to see just how uncomfortable you are without smoking."

Shizuka Hiratsuka clicked her tongue. "Can't you just say smoking is harmful to your health and ask me to smoke less?"

"In that case..." Haruno Yukinoshita looked away, "How boring."

--

"I already asked Hina Ebina." Yui Yuigahama, holding her teacup.

"Judging from your expression..." Yukino Yukinoshita looked up, "It seems there's no hope for a result."

"Hmm." Yui Yuigahama nodded dejectedly. "Hina Ebina said she didn't specifically ask."

"So what's her guess?" Komachi Hikigaya pressed. "As a friend, her guess should be of great reference value."

"I did ask," Yui Yuigahama, "But as Hayato Hayama's friend, Hina Ebina and I are the same. Since Hayato Hayama excels in both humanities and sciences, we can't draw a conclusion."

"What are your future career plans?" Saki Kawasaki pointed to herself. "I want to develop in the direction of beverage development, so I chose the Science Track."

"Hayato Hayama did mention what industry he wanted to work in the future," Yui Yuigahama replied, recalling the past. "Although it was a long time ago, during my internship, he seemed to have said he wanted to work in mass communication and at a foreign company."

"Mass communications, foreign companies..." Dong Yunshan tapped his temples with two fingers together, rattling off a long list of job titles as if they were second nature, "Public relations manager, brand manager, marketing communications, corporate communications, media relations, internal communications... those are about it."

Komachi Hikigaya asked curiously, "Should we choose the Humanities Track or Science Track for these positions?"

"The Humanities Track curriculum systematically cultivates the ability to understand social phenomena, analyze texts, conduct logical arguments, and think critically—these are precisely the core competencies of mass communication majors." Dong Yunshan paused, "Theoretically, that's how it is."

"Theoretically...?" Saki Kawasaki frowned slightly, "Is it actually different?"

"Once you actually join a company, you'll find that most companies give one person the work of three people but pay them the salary of two," Dong Yunshan clicked his tongue. "So, the people who are really easy to find jobs are multi-skilled talents, especially in the communications departments of multinational tech companies. They particularly favor communications talents with technical understanding who can communicate smoothly with the technical team and plan communication activities based on products and technology."

"You can't determine that through career planning..." Yui Yuigahama. "Well... that's true. There's a difference between interest and the final choice. You can't rely entirely on interest to make a decision."

Dong Yunshan looked at Yui Yuigahama: "Does Hina Ebina have anything else to say?"

"And..." Yui Yuigahama blushed, "And then there are those..."

"Okay, I think I understand." Dong Yunshan understood immediately.

No matter what you say, Hina Ebina will eventually gravitate towards her interests.

Especially when she wanted to end the conversation... huh?

Dong Yunshan's heart stirred.

The next day after school, Dong Yunshan did not go to the activity room immediately, but waited a little longer in the classroom.

After Hina Ebina finished packing her things and went out, she quickly followed.

After turning a corner, Dong Yunshan saw Hina Ebina leaning against the wall.

"I think..." Hina Ebina said with a slight smile, "That wouldn't make any sense."

"What?"

"There's no point in continuing to probe Hayato Hayama's choice." Hina Ebina lowered her head slightly, a cold glint flashing in her glasses. "He won't say it easily."

"If he could just say it out loud, I wouldn't need to probe so indirectly."

"Because of Yumiko's request?" Hina Ebina shook her head slightly. "Haven't you considered why she would ask you for help?"

"Because we'll help?"

"That's certainly one of the reasons." Hina Ebina held up two fingers and wagged them. "More importantly, she knew Hayato Hayama would skillfully dodge, as long as she wanted their current relationship to continue."

"Are you sure..." Dong Yunshan's mind conjured up the image of Yumiko Miura, her face streaked with tears, "That your relationship can continue like this?"

"Of course~" Hina Ebina playfully stuck out her tongue, "Reassigning students to different classes won't completely destroy everyone's relationships. Hayato Hayama will definitely choose a method that won't hurt anyone... He will definitely meet everyone's expectations."

Dong Yunshan frowned. "Including himself?"

"Including him," Hina Ebina murmured softly, "That's the kind of person he is."

--

It seems that all possible avenues for investigation have been explored.

Everyone gathered in the activity room to brainstorm new solutions.

Dong Yunshan tapped his temples lightly with two fingers together. "Things have come to this point, we have no choice but to take some special measures."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her. "You can't do things that break the law."

Dong Yunshan: "Then..."

Yukino Yukinoshita added sternly, "Even skirting the edge is unacceptable."

Dong Yunshan: "... Let me think about it some more."

"Thank goodness for Little Yukino ..." Yui Yuigahama stared warily at Dong Yunshan, "Otherwise I always felt you might do something outrageous."

Yukino Yukinoshita glared fiercely at Dong Yunshan: "With me around, he's done just as many outrageous things as he's done."

"Huh?" Komachi Hikigaya's eyes lit up immediately.

"You can elaborate," Saki Kawasaki, putting down her cup. "Try to be as detailed as possible."

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed, her attitude resolute. "Impossible."

Saki Kawasaki picked up her cup again with regret.

"Everyone's here." The door to the activity room opened, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced around.

"Knock on the door..." Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if she had a headache.

Shizuka Hiratsuka pretended not to hear. "Are you free after school tomorrow?"

Dong Yunshan looked up. "That depends on what the teacher needs."

"University entrance interviews," Shizuka Hiratsuka pulled up a chair and sat down. "The Student Council entrance interviews are tomorrow. The student council has been working very hard, but they still don't have enough manpower."

Yui Yuigahama suddenly realized, "No wonder Iroha hasn't come over these past two days..."

"So~" Shizuka Hiratsuka Saki Kawasaki, "Iroha Isshiki came to ask for my permission as his advisor, hoping to entrust the Service Club with some help."

Yukino Yukinoshita nodded in satisfaction. "You've already mastered the formal procedures."

"Helping you is no problem..." Komachi Hikigaya tilted her head. "What's a college entrance interview?"

"Simply put, it's similar to exam preparation," Shizuka Hiratsuka explained. "You can think of it as listening to upperclassmen share their practical experiences."

"Exam preparation... starting now?" Yui Yuigahama was quite surprised. "Isn't it a bit too early?"

"I already mentioned this in class meeting." Shizuka Hiratsuka's stern gaze was fixed on Yui Yuigahama. Seeing the blank look on her face, she could only sigh helplessly. "In addition to the regular classes, our school also has International Liberal Arts Class. Some students in the International Liberal Arts Department plan to study abroad, so they must start preparing early. Therefore, compared to other schools, Sobu High School's entrance exam preparation starts much earlier."

"It's gotten to this point already..." Dong Yunshan's eyes lit up. "By the way, teacher, do you know why Hayato Hayama chose the Humanities Track?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka paused, realizing something was wrong as soon as she opened her mouth, then glared at her sideways. "Trying to trick me? This is a matter of personal privacy."

Dong Yunshan spread her hands regretfully. "I thought I could succeed~"

"How many times have you been a student?" Shizuka Hiratsuka scoffed. "However, I can understand that feeling. Everyone likes to ask what schools the people around them are applying to. It's quite enjoyable to chat about these things before officially entering the final sprint stage—so what are your choices?"

"I want to choose the Humanities Track," Yui Yuigahama obediently raised her hand in response.

Komachi Hikigaya replied, "Me too."

Saki Kawasaki spoke up, "I'll choose the Science Track."

"I'm also in the Science Track." Dong Yunshan raised her hand and waved.

"Not bad, you've all made firm choices. Keep moving forward with great strides!" Shizuka Hiratsuka clapped her hands in satisfaction. "And remember to submit the survey form on time."

"And..." Shizuka Hiratsuka's gaze lingered on Dong Yunshan for a moment, "Never mind, let's talk about it tomorrow."

Dong Yunshan: "?"

-

The next day, everyone went to the conference room on the second floor.

This is a place that everyone is quite familiar with; we used to hold meetings here when preparing for Cultural Festival and sports meets.

After knocking and receiving a response, I opened the door and saw Iroha Isshiki busy at work.

"Ah! Seniors!" Iroha Isshiki ran over, happily clasping her hands together. "Thank you all for coming to help!"

"Yay~" Yui Yuigahama greeted with a smile.

Yukino Yukinoshita looked around the conference room. "What are we supposed to do?"

"We'll be holding college entrance interviews here, so we'll need to rearrange the seating," Iroha Isshiki explained briefly. "The Student Council will also be present during the interviews to provide assistance as needed."

"You guys seem to be working really hard," Komachi Hikigaya remarked. "You'll be busy for a long time."

"Yes, but that's Student Council work." Iroha Isshiki composed herself, shaking the documents in her hand. "First, we need to move the tables and chairs, then insert partitions in the middle to secure them, creating a separate cubicle. Could you please help us move some of the heavier items, seniors and vice president?"

"No problem." Dong Yunshan's eyes shifted to the vice president beside him.

"Brother Shan." Vice President Kimaki Makito still remembered their collaboration on the Christmas event, "I'll have to trouble you again this time."

"It's nothing." Dong Yunshan nodded. "Pleasure doing business with you."

"Then there are chairs..." Iroha Isshiki looked at the documents, "One chair for the consultation side row, two chairs for the student side row, and we also need to prepare tea for the consultation staff."

Saki Kawasaki said, "Leave the tea to me."

"Thank you all for your hard work." Iroha Isshiki the documents. "I'll go get the person in charge of consultations."

Everyone was busy in the conference room, and after preparations were almost complete, the students arrived one after another, and the college entrance interviews were about to begin.

Faint sounds of conversation could be heard outside the door. Dong Yunshan's ears twitched, and she turned to look at Yukino Yukinoshita.

A small question mark appeared above Yukino Yukinoshita's head before she looked towards the conference room door.

"Wow, so many familiar faces~" Haruno Yukinoshita waved and greeted everyone with a smile, "Hello~"

"Hello, sister~" Dong Yunshan waved in response.

Yukino Yukinoshita met Haruno Yukinoshita's gaze without flinching. "... Sister."
