Yukinoshita's Correction Method Chapter 460
"The aquatic creatures... they're here again, aren't they?" Dong Yunshan tapped her temples lightly with two fingers together. "You probably want to ask about Prom, right?"
Yui Yuigahama: "Yes!"
"Prom is short for Promenade—some schools hold dance parties at the end of the academic year," Dong Yunshan explained briefly. "A friend of mine took me to one before; you could think of it as a more lavish graduation party."
"I've only ever seen that in movies." Yui Yuigahama Iroha Isshiki surprise. "Do regular students really organize those kinds of events?"
"Yes, it's quite common." Iroha Isshiki took out her phone to search and showed the photos she found. "Look, look, these are perfect for taking photos and checking in! I really want to try them!"
The screen showed young men and women dressed in their finest attire at a lavish party.
The venues vary depending on the nature of the event; some are in stadiums, some in clubs, and others in dance halls and squares.
Chapter 785 Take your hand away
A group of young men and women dressed in formal attire, riding in luxury cars, happily posed for a photo against a lavish backdrop; they certainly didn't look like high school students.
"Hmm, it's similar to the one I participated in back then," Dong Yunshan recalled. "However... I don't think Sobu High School has ever held one."
"That's why we're doing this!" Iroha Isshiki gently touched the chest of her pink vest and announced loudly, "I'm going to be the Queen of the Prom!"
"Wow!" Yui Yuigahama clapped her hands, then turned to look at Dong Yunshan, "What's a prom queen?"
"She's the center of attention at the dance," Dong Yunshan explained, "Like the class beauty or the school beauty."
"Graduation Ball certainly meets our needs." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "But there's less than a month left until graduation. To prepare such a lavish ball in such a short time... why do you want to hold a ball?"
"Huh? Didn't I just say that?" Iroha Isshiki blinked blankly, "To become the queen of the prom."
"The main characters at the Graduation Ball are the graduates," Yukino Yukinoshita pointed out incisively. "If you want to become the queen of the prom, you'll have to wait two more years."
"Ah..." First-year student Iroha Isshiki's gaze darted around, "I want to start preparing now."
Yukino Yukinoshita shook her head. "With your popularity, even if a ball were held in two years, you wouldn't need to prepare; you would become the queen."
"Is... is that so?" Iroha Isshiki looked completely bewildered.
Yui Yuigahama also looked completely bewildered.
"Yukino means is..." Dong Yunshan began, "Why do you insist on holding the ball this year?"
"This... uh..." After a brief moment of confusion, Iroha Isshiki quickly figured out what to say, "I might not be the Student Council next year! So, if I want to take this position, I can only do it now..."
Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was calm and unhurried, yet carried an extremely strong pressure. Coupled with Iroha Isshiki's flustered appearance, it even felt almost like an interrogation. "There are very few people who want to run for the position of student council president. With your abilities and past achievements, as long as you have the will, you will definitely be elected."
"Even if we say we'll hold a ball next year, it probably won't happen. Others will probably reject it with reasons like 'impossible' or 'too late.'" Iroha Isshiki unconsciously clutched the hem of her dress. "So no matter how difficult it is, even if we fail, we must prepare for the next move..."
Yukino Yukinoshita, and her icy blue eyes grew even more stern.
Unable to bear the overly tense atmosphere, Yui Yuigahama wanted to say something to ease the tension, but she didn't even know why the atmosphere was so serious.
Although she didn't know what to say, she knew what she should do.
Yui Yuigahama reached out her small hand and subtly poked Dong Yunshan.
"Iroha, organizing a lavish Graduation Ball in such a short time is no easy task. Even if we are willing to help, much of the work will depend on you, as the Student Council, and the Student Council members." Dong Yunshan Yui Yuigahama, indicating that she shouldn't worry. "And to accomplish such a difficult task, you need unwavering determination. For that, we need to know why you are doing this, and for whom."
"If you're going to do it, do it now... Start now, it might not be too late. As for who it's for..." Iroha Isshiki raised her head, meeting Yukino Yukinoshita's scrutinizing gaze without flinching, and announced loudly with a smug smile, "Of course it's for myself!"
"Is that so..." Yukino Yukinoshita closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again with a smile. "Then, let's have a ball."
"Huh? Really? Is that okay?" Iroha Isshiki looked at Yukino Yukinoshita in surprise, and when she saw Yukino nod, she immediately cheered, "Wow~ I love Yukino- senpai the most!"
Immediately afterward, Iroha Isshiki shrank back, still shaken, and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita with lingering fear. "But what just happened? It was so scary! Please, please don't do that again... I mean it. I wouldn't have dared to say anything if Yunshan- senpai hadn't spoken up..."
"Don't worry, Little Yukino is like this when she's serious. It means she really wants to do well... Wait a minute!" Yui Yuigahama comforted Iroha Isshiki, then suddenly thought of a crucial question, "But isn't helping organize the ball a cover for finding investment? If organizing the ball is too difficult, it will require more time and energy, and then finding investment will be delayed, won't it?"
"Hmm...so I'll be in charge of this ball." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan. "As for finding investors, there's very little I can do to help, so leave the ball to me. You focus on—you?!"
Before Yukino Yukinoshita could finish speaking, Dong Yunshan pulled her into his arms and gently patted her rounded figure, which was encased in her pleated skirt.
Iroha Isshiki stood there stunned, Yui Yuigahama gasped in surprise.
Such interaction was too stimulating for them; they even had the illusion that being a bystander was against the rules.
I don't know what it feels like...
Yukino Yukinoshita trembled, her face flushed red, and she bumped her head against his chest. Her small hand touched his waist, and just as she was about to punish him, she suddenly remembered that this situation seemed to have happened before.
Back when the Cultural Festival was being organized, in order to allow Dong Yunshan to focus on her work with Cloud Flash Delivery and Cloud Snow Tea, she offered to take charge of the Cultural Festival herself.
"Knowing your personality, you definitely won't be able to concentrate on work; you'll always be thinking about me." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly. "So... regarding the ball and the investment, let's work together and each do what we're good at."
"Hmm..." Dong Yunshan seemed to be deep in thought.
"And my older sister," Yukino Yukinoshita added. "She's also good at organizing events, so we can have her help. It will make it easier for us to exchange information and also let the family know what we're busy with."
"Good idea." Dong Yunshan gave an approving smile.
Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "Is there anything else you'd like to add?"
Dong Yunshan shook her head. "No more."
Yukino Yukinoshita blinked. "My plan is good?"
Dong Yunshan nodded vigorously. "Excellent."
Yukino Yukinoshita glared at her fiercely. "Then why aren't you taking your hand away?"
Chapter 786 Let's Avoid It
Dong Yunshan's hand lingered on hers, Yukino Yukinoshita thought that Dong Yunshan was still dissatisfied with her plan and was ready to hit her again at any time.
Dong Yunshan's hand twitched. "Can't you just leave it there?"
"Okay..." Yukino Yukinoshita stood on tiptoe and bit his shoulder.
Yui Yuigahama could see clearly that, given the height difference between the two, Yukino Yukinoshita shouldn't be able to bite her.
But the Dong Yunshan bent over...
They worked together very well.
"They..." Iroha Isshiki raised her chin, "... have they always been like this?"
"It seems to be getting more and more like this lately..." Yui Yuigahama murmured absentmindedly, then whispered a reminder, "Don't make a sound, they'll find out we're here."
Iroha Isshiki blinked. "So this is where we are."
Yukino Yukinoshita wiped her mouth and then subtly stepped on Dong Yunshan's foot.
Dong Yunshan released his arms from hers and coughed lightly. "Anyway, let's prepare a preliminary plan first."
"Speaking of plans..." Iroha Isshiki suddenly remembered something important, scratching her cheek sheepishly, "The previous budget was used up when we published the local history..."
"The Student Council budget is settled at the end of February, so we can include the expenses for March's activities in the next budget," Yukino Yukinoshita quickly offered a solution. "The ball is in mid-March, and we can use next year's budget to pay for it."
"Next year's budget should have already been allocated..." Yui Yuigahama some concern, "If it's arranged like this, next year's budget might not be enough to support the Student Council in organizing more events."
"There's nothing we can do about it." Iroha Isshiki shrugged, inwardly marveling at the two's ability to change the subject. "But probably no one will notice, since nobody knows what the Student Council is up to."
Yui Yuigahama: "It seems that's really true..."
"Besides, there was already a surplus in this year's budget." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Iroha Isshiki. "Someone deliberately spent it. If they hadn't, the remaining amount should have been enough."
"Is that enough?" Iroha Isshiki looked away shyly. "Such a lavish event..."
"The more extravagant the event, the more people will try to profit from it. If the funds are actually spent on the event, the required budget isn't high." Dong Yunshan, who has organized company annual meetings, gestured with his hands, "And there are many ways to ensure the effect while spending as little money as possible."
Iroha Isshiki asked excitedly, "Like what?"
"First, there's the venue. If we use the school's gymnasium, we can save a lot on venue fees," Yukino Yukinoshita explained. "Second, there's the sound system. We can use the school's equipment."
Dong Yunshan added, "I have a friend who runs a karaoke bar and can provide additional sound and lighting equipment."
"And then there's the cost of food and drinks," Yukino Yukinoshita continued, "As for beverages..."
Dong Yunshan chimed in, "Cloud Snow Tea can be offered for free; consider it a marketing promotion."
"Let's talk to the Baking Club about the food." Yukino Yukinoshita recalled a previous Student Council event, "There are other people who can participate, and we've organized a teaching activity before."
"That's right!" Iroha Isshiki Valentine’s Day Choco workshop for complete beginners!"
Yui Yuigahama had a great idea. "We can find clubs in school to form bands!"
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded. "As for formal wear, the participating students can prepare their own."
"Looking at it this way, it really doesn't seem to cost too much money." Iroha Isshiki said confidently, "I'll go find the accountant right now! And then get a plan ready as soon as possible!"
Watching Iroha Isshiki leave happily, Dong Yunshan remarked with some emotion, "Letting her take charge of the Valentine’s Day activities on her own was actually quite effective; she even started writing the plans herself."
If it were the old Iroha Isshiki, she would definitely have asked Yukino Yukinoshita to help write the proposal.
Yukino Yukinoshita nodded slightly, then turned to look at Dong Yunshan: "What are your plans regarding the investment?"
"Investment..." Dong Yunshan recalled the information he had gathered about investors, "I plan to contact different types of investors separately to gauge their investment intentions."
Yui Yuigahama asked curiously, "Different types?"
"There are different classifications based on risk tolerance and inclination, analytical methods, investment timeframe, identity, purpose, background, etc." Yukino Yukinoshita explained briefly before further analyzing, "Cloud Snow Tea is now relatively mature, having verified the feasibility of its business model, with stable cash flow and operating capabilities, making it suitable for financial investors, strategic investors, high-net-worth individuals... and institutions that specialize in managing family finances."
When she got to the last one, Yukino Yukinoshita paused for a moment.
Taking into account the needs of Cloud Snow Tea, it is most suitable for high-net-worth individuals and families.
The problem is that Yukinoshita Family has additional conditions attached.
Furthermore, considering that this is a collaborative project between the Yukinoshita Family and other families and individuals, it is highly unlikely that they will get involved.
"That's about what I know." Dong Yunshan stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's soft hair. "Anyway, let's try them all first, and then we'll know the results."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked up. "How do you plan to try?"
"Let's chat," Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, "Let's talk about the story of Cloud Snow Tea and exchange our needs."
"Different investors have different needs. Financial investors usually require performance-based agreements, and since funds have a term of five to seven years, they will exit regardless of the outcome. It's best to prepare the corresponding contracts in advance." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned. "Strategic investors want business synergy and often pursue a higher shareholding ratio, and may even want to acquire Cloud Snow Tea. Moreover, the process is very long, and there may not be enough time..."
Yukino Yukinoshita pressed her temples as if suffering from a headache. "Anyway, I'll prepare some relevant agreements first, as much as possible..."
"A framework is sufficient for the major categories." Dong Yunshan gazed into Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes. "Leave the rest to me."
Yukino Yukinoshita gave a soft "hmm" and moved closer to Dong Yunshan.
Just as it was about to touch, it suddenly stopped.
He turned his gaze to the side, Yui Yuigahama.
"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama blinked her innocent big eyes. "I shouldn't have said anything... Ah, I mean... I'll excuse myself for a moment."
"No need~" Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita and gently kissed her forehead.
Chapter 787 Simulated Dialogue
After finishing her daily workout, Dong Yunshan moved closer to Yukino Yukinoshita was sitting next to the computer, and glanced at the content on the screen. "Isn't this already written?"
"It's still far from perfect." Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly. "There are still some details that need to be perfected."
"I feel like we're almost done." Dong Yunshan put his arm around Yukino Yukinoshita's shoulder. "Shall we take a rest?"
"You're covered in sweat." Yukino Yukinoshita's cheeks puffed out slightly. "Go take a shower."
"Together?"
"I haven't written it yet!"
Before Yukino Yukinoshita could finish speaking, Dong Yunshan carried her into the bathroom.
"Don't move..." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was panicked, "Hurry up and finish washing, I still need to—um~ I already said... terrible~"
The sound of running water made the bathroom even warmer.
"Ouch!" Yukino Yukinoshita bit Dong Yunshan's shoulder, her voice muffled, "I knew this would happen..."
Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's smooth shoulder. "How are you feeling? Do you feel any better?"
Yukino Yukinoshita scoffed, "How could it be easy after being tortured like that?"
"That makes sense." Dong Yunshan's eyes lit up. "Then I'll give you a massage to help you relax."
"Stop!" Yukino Yukinoshita grabbed Dong Yunshan's wrist.
