Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"Not enough."

"No... um? This is more like it."

-

"Revitalization Foundation, Keiyo Finance, Chiba Venture Capital." Dong Yunshan handed the three proposals to Yukino Yukinoshita. "These three have had the smoothest initial communication."

"There are indeed very few independent venture capital firms in Chiba Prefecture. I hadn't even considered that there were any options." Yukino Yukinoshita reviewed the corresponding proposals and compared them with the relevant information she had collected beforehand. "The Revitalization Foundation is responsible for operating the startup incubation facilities in Chiba City, providing policy support and a small amount of financial support to entrepreneurs, making it suitable as a regulator. Chiba Venture Capital is one of the most active equity investors in Chiba Prefecture, primarily investing in small and medium-sized enterprises and promising startups within Chiba Prefecture."

"Both seem good." Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "If we want to speed things up, Chiba Venture Capital might be more suitable?"

Yukino Yukinoshita pondered for a moment, "Being somewhere in between Keiyo Finance, as an affiliated company of Keiyo Bank, is actually a more suitable choice."

Chapter 795 A Different Way of Sleeping

Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita tightly. "Why do you say that?"

Yukino Yukinoshita shifted slightly, skillfully finding the most comfortable position in Dong Yunshan's arms. "While the Revitalization Foundation has strong credibility, its decision-making is rather slow, which contradicts the need for the rapid development of Cloud Snow Tea."

"What about Chiba Venture Capital?"

"Chiba Venture Capital makes decisions quickly and is familiar with the local market, but their proposal has significantly lowered the valuation of Cloud Snow Tea. They might need to add a performance-based clause later." Yukino Yukinoshita rested her knuckles on her chin, her eyes gleaming. "Given Cloud Snow Tea's current situation, there's no need to worry about its performance, but..."

Dong Yunshan guessed Yukino Yukinoshita's concern. "Could it be related to her family?"

"Very likely." Yukino Yukinoshita nodded gently. "Therefore, Keiyo Finance Keiyo Bank, would be a better fit. Its funds come from the banking system, ensuring high stability and eliminating the pressure of mandatory exits during the fund's lifespan. It's a good choice for both independent third-party regulators and direct investors. Furthermore, Keiyo Finance's decisions are aligned with Keiyo Bank's regional development strategy, making it less susceptible to constraints from local families..."

Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly stopped mid-sentence, bringing her legs together and clamping Dong Yunshan's hand between them. "Are you even listening?"

"Yes... yes." Dong Yunshan's fingers twitched, unable to go any further, yet unwilling to back down even a step, she could only reluctantly enjoy the warmth and softness of Yukino Yukinoshita's legs. "Keiyo Finance would be more suitable."

Yukino Yukinoshita straightened her face, turned her head and stared at him. "Where exactly does it manifest itself?"

Dong Yunshan answered fluently, "Faster than the Revitalization Foundation in making decisions, and more reliable than Chiba Venture Capital."

Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly, genuinely surprised that Dong Yunshan could listen so attentively even with his hands wandering around.

If we were to be honest...

That would be even more tiring.

Yukino Yukinoshita's gaze softened even more.

Dong Yunshan put it simply, but the process is not easy to implement.

When initially contacting investment institutions, it is necessary to collect a large amount of information and screen suitable targets to ensure that the information can be disseminated to the desired destinations through the trust network within the industry.

One cannot be careless during the contact process; one must express the need for Cloud Snow Tea without being too eager, and precisely control the information when contacting different organizations and people...

If Yukino Yukinoshita were to complete this task, she would need to gather a lot of information beforehand, conduct repeated simulations, and then begin the operation, and there would still be no guarantee that she would achieve the desired effect.

After gathering sufficient information, Dong Yunshan immediately took action, leveraging his network and adaptable communication skills to significantly streamline and complete the entire process.

What followed was exhaustion and fatigue.

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips slightly and put the documents aside. "Brother~"

Dong Yunshan's eyes lit up. "Hmm?"

Yukino Yukinoshita blushed. "Let's go to the bedroom."

"Okay~" Dong Yunshan picked up Yukino Yukinoshita and headed towards the bedroom.

Lying on the bed, Yukino Yukinoshita reached out and hugged Dong Yunshan, letting him bury his face in the crook of her neck, gently stroking his short hair. "Brother, you've worked so hard, you did a great job... Now get some rest~"

The Dong Yunshan Yukino Yukinoshita. It took her a while to recover.

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan showed belated surprise, looking up at Yukino Yukinoshita. "Isn't this the procedure after it's finished?"

Yukino Yukinoshita gently kissed his forehead. "But that's what I want right now."

"Alright then..." Dong Yunshan lowered her head again, hugged Yukino Yukinoshita, nestled in her arms, and breathed in her scent.

Yukino Yukinoshita gently stroked his head, making a soft Sasa sound.

Normally, Dong Yunshan would start to get restless, not just in the bedroom, but even on the sofa in the living room.

And now, feeling the warmth of Yukino Yukinoshita's embrace seeping into her body, Dong Yunshan just wanted this moment to continue forever.

"Mmm~~~" Dong Yunshan nuzzled against Yukino Yukinoshita's neck, making a muffled sound.

Yukino Yukinoshita parted her cherry lips slightly, about to ask a question, but after a brief hesitation, she remained silent, pretending not to have heard anything.

"Mmm..." Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita a little tighter.

Feeling Dong Yunshan's undisguised dependence, Yukino Yukinoshita couldn't help but recall taking care of Xixi. She raised her hand and gently patted Dong Yunshan's back, her movements becoming increasingly tender.

The breath of the Dong Yunshan lingering around her neck grew longer and longer.

-

The rehearsal for the ball went smoothly, and the financing process began.

The members of the Service Club finally had some free time and enjoyed a long-awaited moment of leisure in the Service Club's activity room.

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama stared at Dong Yunshan's face in confusion. "Am I just imagining things?"

Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "What's wrong?"

"You seem to be in particularly good spirits today..." Yui Yuigahama looked her up and down. "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Ah..." Dong Yunshan's gaze unconsciously shifted, catching sight of Yukino Yukinoshita's upturned lips. "Yes, she changed her sleeping position."

"Sleeping method? What sleeping..." Yui Yuigahama raised a small question mark above her head, then looked at Yukino Yukinoshita, before quickly looking away, her cheeks turning red at a visible speed. "Th-that's good."

"I don't know what you're thinking," Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at her, "But judging from your expression, it's probably quite different from the truth."

"It's not my fault, is it?" Yui Yuigahama the sidelines. "Right, Komachi?"

"Komachi just had a slightly inappropriate thought for a moment too~" Komachi Hikigaya smiled sheepishly, revealing her cute little fangs. "So, what's the actual way you sleep?"

Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth, then pursed her lips.

Saki Kawasaki said to Komachi Hikigaya and Yui Yuigahama, "You two don't seem to have misunderstood."

Under the Yukino Yukinoshita's pink cheeks are slightly bulging.

"Hey, I have a great idea." Dong Yunshan held up one finger. "How about I write the answer on a piece of paper, and you write down your thoughts on the same paper, and see if we've come up with anything wrong?"

"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama guiltily looked away. "No need..."

Yukino Yukinoshita narrowed her eyes slightly. "Don't you want to know the answer?"

"Actually..." Komachi Hikigaya blinked, "I'm not that interested..."

"Oh~" Saki Kawasaki nodded, "You guys seem to have misunderstood."

"I..." Yui Yuigahama's gaze darted around, "I'll go see if Iroha needs any help--"

Yui Yuigahama had just reached the door of the activity room when she saw the door shake slightly before suddenly sliding open with a loud bang.

"That's great..." Iroha Isshiki gasped for breath, "Oh no!"

Yui Yuigahama: "Huh?"

Dong Yunshan grabbed his coat. "Is there an urgent matter that requires your help?"

Iroha Isshiki nodded vigorously. "Follow me!"

Everyone immediately followed. Iroha Isshiki hurried along, glancing at Yukino Yukinoshita: "The ball... has run into trouble."

Without time for detailed explanations, the group arrived at the reception room next to the faculty and staff offices.

Iroha Isshiki knocked on the door, and before anyone could answer, she pushed it open and went inside.

Dong Yunshan spotted Shizuka Hiratsuka- sensei's back as she sat on the sofa at a glance.

Opposite Shizuka Hiratsuka were Haruno Yukinoshita and Yukinoshita's mother.

Meeting Xue Mu's eyes, Dong Yunshan saw the tenderness and smile in her gaze.

That gaze shifted to Yukino Yukinoshita, then swept over the others.

Nothing has changed.

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Iroha Isshiki bowed stiffly under her gaze. "The ball was something we decided to hold together, so please let us all participate in the discussion about whether it can still be held."

Unlike usual, Iroha Isshiki's voice was firm and clearly hostile as she glared at Yuki-no-Mother without any attempt to hide her anger.

"It's not as exaggerated as some people say," Snow Mother said gently, as if coaxing a child. "I'm just here to convey your opinions. Please sit down."

Yukino Yukinoshita and Iroha Isshiki sat directly opposite Yukino, Yui Yuigahama, Komachi Hikigaya, and Saki Kawasaki sat on the side, and Dong Yunshan stood directly behind Yukino Yukinoshita.

Yuki-no-Mother glanced at Dong Yunshan, about to speak, but Yukino Yukinoshita spoke first, "Then, please give your opinion."

Haruno Yukinoshita stirred her coffee and winked mischievously at Dong Yunshan.

A faint, wry smile appeared on Xue's mother's face, which then softened into a gentler one. She explained slowly and deliberately, "Regarding the dance you all wanted to hold, some parents think it should be canceled. Several parents saw the photos online and came to discuss it with me. They seem worried that the event isn't comprehensive enough, and also... not quite appropriate for high school students."

After finishing her sentence, Xue's mother glanced sideways at her eldest daughter beside her.

Haruno Yukinoshita sighed impatiently, "Opinions are mixed among the graduates."

So that's how it is... Dong Yunshan finally understands why Haruno Yukinoshita was also there.

Yuki-mama represents the parents, Haruno Yukinoshita represents the graduates.

If students and parents object, the school should of course consider it carefully.

"Well~" After adding her explanation as if completing a task, Haruno Yukinoshita's lips curled into a provocative smile again, "But there aren't many voices that completely deny it."

"We can't ignore it just because it's a minority opinion." Xue's mother said seriously, "Since some people don't like it, we should consider their feelings."

Haruno Yukinoshita remained calm, closed her eyes, and took a small sip of coffee.

Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was icy. "Why is it Mother who came?"

"I'm also a member of the Parents' Association," Xue's mother said with a smile. "Besides, someone who's on good terms with your father came to ask for a favor, I can't just ignore it..."

Dong Yunshan's eyes flickered slightly. Xue Mu's words could be understood literally, but not solely based on the literal meaning.

As a member of the Parents' Association, Xue's mother is qualified to communicate with the school on behalf of the Parents' Association.

This could also be interpreted as... she was one of the parents who opposed it.

The fact that someone who was on good terms with Xue's father came to ask for help... serves as a reminder that among the opposing parents, there are those who have good relationships with the county councilor.

Such parents are likely capable of taking measures that are even more extreme than the current discussions.

Therefore, it's not just about...

"You can understand, right?" Snow Mother's eyes flickered. "Yunshan?"

Interrupted from her train of thought, Dong Yunshan raised one eyebrow. "It's much easier if we have a relationship. We can talk about it sometime."

"Okay." Xue's mother's eyes were deep. "I'll talk to him about it later."

So let's not bring this up again... Dong Yunshan understood the unspoken meaning in Xue's mother's words.

"Um..." Yui Yuigahama began weakly, instinctively shrinking her shoulders the moment Yuki-chan looked over, then sitting up abruptly. "I've been keeping an eye on the online comments. It seems more people actually like the ball, right? Canceling it just because of a few people..."

"You're using Little Snowflake, right? Not many parents use this software, and as far as I know, Little Snowflake, which was recently released, is in a crucial period for maintaining a positive community atmosphere. Besides..." Xue's mother gently reminded her, "Compared to expressing their opinions online, feedback through official channels in real life is the choice of most people."

"Oh... I see..." Yui Yuigahama clutched her skirt and lowered her head.

"So how much feedback have you received?" Komachi Hikigaya blinked her big eyes. "If the feedback isn't too much, perhaps we can revise the prom content accordingly based on the concerns of different parents..."

"If we're talking about individuals, students will know their parents object, which might lead to conflict," Mother Xue smiled. "You didn't organize the dance for that purpose, did you?"

"Huh?" Komachi Hikigaya's eyes widened. "W-Of course not!"

"I understand your concerns. In fact, if all participants behave appropriately, the parents won't mind the change in format," Mother Xue said sincerely. "However, based on our research on the ball, some inappropriate behaviors occur frequently, which is an undeniable fact. That's why some people think the current format is unsuitable for Appreciation Party gathering. After all, if something goes wrong, you can't be held responsible, right?"

Komachi Hikigaya opened her mouth. "Ah... um."

"So..." Saki Kawasaki stared intently at Yuki's mother, "If the Parents' Association and the school supervise together, potential problems can be effectively avoided—and they've already agreed to that."

"Regarding this, the Parents' Association also felt that the initial agreement was too hasty." Xue's mother narrowed her eyes slightly. "Moreover, it was only a verbal agreement at the time; whether or not to grant formal permission would depend on the actual situation afterward—now that we've seen it, we've made our judgment."

Chapter 796 Reasonable

"This doesn't make any sense! We discussed this with them beforehand to avoid complaints after the Parents' Association, and now you're using this as a reason to deny it?" Iroha Isshiki's voice was completely devoid of its usual cuteness and playfulness, carrying undisguised aggression. "Isn't it the parents' job to teach their children not to misbehave? Trying to forbid them instead of educating them is shirking your responsibilities..."
