Yukinoshita's Correction Method
"Setting standards, building trust, correcting mistakes..." Yukino Yukinoshita blue eyes sparkled. "You always have such brilliant ideas~"
"This idea is quite ordinary." Dong Yunshan gazed into Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes, "But it's because you, who carried out this idea, are upright and gentle, and always insist on being right, that this idea seems so good."
Sensing the support and approval in his eyes, Yukino Yukinoshita's lips moved slightly; she had so much to say...
But they couldn't wait any longer.
Holding onto Dong Yunshan's shoulders and tilting her head slightly, Yukino Yukinoshita kissed his lips, turning the words she couldn't say into Mianmian affection, gently entangling him.
Their breaths mingled, and the loose loungewear couldn't hide Dong Yunshan's hands, which haphazardly outlined the shape of the back of his hands.
"Now that you've made the decision..." Dong Yunshan stopped speaking reluctantly, "Shouldn't you take a good rest?"
Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her cheeks slightly. "Do you want to rest?"
Dong Yunshan was very frank: "I want to--"
Yukino Yukinoshita quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth. "Don't say it!"
"If you're not allowed to say it..." Dong Yunshan instantly understood, "Then we have no choice but to do it."
"Don't move..." Yukino Yukinoshita muttered softly, reaching her hand towards Dong Yunshan's waist.
Just as they were about to touch, the phone suddenly rang.
Yukino Yukinoshita paused, then gently nudged him.
Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita and reached for the phone on the coffee table behind her. "It's Yui Yuigahama."
"It must be about the selection." Yukino Yukinoshita answered the phone, "Yui Yuigahama?"
"Little Yukino, I've discussed it with my family," Yui Yuigahama the other end of the phone. "I want to go to Chiba University!"
Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback. "Chiba University?"
"That's right. Since the experience of managing an account is highly competitive, then of course we should strive for the best university in the area." Yui Yuigahama gave her reasoning. "If I choose a university that I could have gotten into anyway, wouldn't that advantage be wasted?"
"That's true." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled gently. "Perfect timing, as Yunshan and I just made a decision—let's work together."
"Hmm, we're together... together?!" Yui Yuigahama suddenly realized, "Did you guys also choose Chiba University?"
Even good friends can't stay in the same school forever.
For the sake of each other's future, we need to make our own choices and move in the direction that suits us best.
Although it's hard to part ways, we can't let our precious friendship become an obstacle to each other.
Yui Yuigahama clearly recognized this and made her own choice.
Then...
"We're going to the same university?" Yui Yuigahama was so excited she almost cried. "That's wonderful..."
"We're going to the same university," Yukino Yukinoshita corrected. "We need to prepare well for that and can't be careless."
"Mmm~" Yui Yuigahama said, then laughed happily, "I'm so happy~ I can be with everyone in university. By the way, what major at Chiba University would be suitable for me?"
"This needs to be considered comprehensively. There are two main directions that suit your account operation experience: one is content first, and the other is..." Yukino Yukinoshita said, then looked up at the pitiful Dong Yunshan.
Just as the two were about to begin, Yui Yuigahama called, and Yukino Yukinoshita was talking to her. Naturally, Dong Yunshan couldn't make any rash moves.
The eager anticipation for immediate results leaves one feeling lost and uncertain.
Dong Yunshan tried to suppress it herself, but with little effect.
After all, Yukino Yukinoshita was still sitting on his lap.
Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly, signaled to Dong Yunshan not to make any strange noises with her eyes, and then reached out to hold his hand.
"The other is application-oriented..." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice trembled slightly. She tentatively moved her hand to make sure Dong Yunshan wasn't making any strange noises before continuing, "If you're going for an application-oriented approach, Chiba University's Department of Design is very well-known in the industry, covering industrial design, visual communication, and more. You can think of managing a social media account as a service design project that allows a brand to interact with its users, using it to showcase your deep understanding of modern media."
"That sounds a bit STEM-oriented, I'll write it down first." Yui Yuigahama pressed, "So, which should we prioritize, the content itself?"
Dong Yunshan's breathing became increasingly rapid. Yukino Yukinoshita, worried that Yui Yuigahama would notice something amiss, slowed down a bit. "For content priority, you could consider the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, such as the Department of Economics and Business Administration in the Faculty of Law, Politics and Economics. They can provide you with systematic business knowledge for your account operation, helping you understand brand operation from the perspective of business and market logic."
Yukino Yukinoshita tries to ignore what she's doing, organizes her thoughts, and focuses on answering Yui Yuigahama's question.
"I've got it, I've got it," Yui Yuigahama replied quickly. "Anything else?"
When people are on the phone, their hands often unconsciously do some meaningless little things.
"And then there's the Behavioral Studies of the Faculty of Letters." Yukino Yukinoshita, deep in thought, unconsciously fiddled with her fingers. "This department covers psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, cognitive information science, and so on. Your ability to manage an account well is essentially based on an accurate grasp of consumer psychology and socio-cultural trends—this department can transform your practical experience into theoretical thinking, which in turn guides your practice."
"I need to mark this one; it sounds perfect for me." Yui Yuigahama suddenly remembered something. "By the way, Yunshan should be with you, right? Does he have any recommendations?"
"Yunshan is..." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, her hands stopping their movements, "... beside me..."
Staring at Dong Yunshan with an overly intense gaze, Yukino Yukinoshita handed him her phone. "Yui Yuigahama wants to ask for your recommendation."
"Hmm..." Dong Yunshan took the phone and then grabbed Yukino Yukinoshita's hand, which she had pulled back.
Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip, gave him a warning glare, and then used both hands together...
"Hoo~" Dong Yunshan took a breath. "Yukino's explanation was quite comprehensive. My suggestion is actually closer to employment."
Yui Yuigahama looked somewhat bewildered. "Employment means...?"
"Brand manager, marketing expert, copywriter, research analyst, etc." Dong Yunshan tried to catch her breath. "I have a good recommendation that I think would suit you perfectly; you can take a look."
Yui Yuigahama initially felt that it was too early to be thinking about employment, but upon closer reflection, having a clear goal would be a good thing.
Moreover, Dong Yunshan always has many fantastic ideas, the kind that are particularly inspiring.
No matter how incredible something seems, when he says it, it always sounds incredibly feasible and promising, which in turn inspires great enthusiasm.
Yui Yuigahama desperately needs the motivation that this positive vision brings. "I'm worried about what I'll do in the future. What kind of job do you think I'd be suited for?"
"Do you know anything about public relations?" Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's soft cheek, only to be glared at by her.
Yukino Yukinoshita puffed out her pink cheeks and lowered her head to blow a breath.
Dong Yunshan's body trembled involuntarily, and then she saw the smug look in Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes.
She glared at him irritably, and to avoid Yui Yuigahama noticing his strange noises, Yukino Yukinoshita quietly maintained a relatively stable frequency to correct herself.
"Uh..." Yui Yuigahama thought for a moment, "In charge of operating the official account?"
"Including but not limited to these," Dong Yunshan added, "There's also relationship maintenance, press writing, brand building, image packaging, social responsibility, public welfare activities, industry exhibitions..."
"Wait, wait, wait..." Yui Yuigahama hurriedly interrupted, "There are so many complicated things, how could I possibly be suitable?"
"Let me put it another way, and you'll understand why I said you're suitable," Dong Yunshan succinctly summarized. "What I mentioned before were just specific operational methods; the core of public relations is establishing and maintaining a relationship of mutual understanding and trust with the public."
Yui Yuigahama seemed to realize something. "Huh?"
"You have a strong affinity with outsiders, which allows you to quickly build rapport; internally, you have excellent coordination skills, which enable the team to operate more smoothly and harmoniously." Dong Yunshan said earnestly, "You can keenly perceive subtle changes in the atmosphere and the other party's emotions, and quickly adjust your communication strategy. You instinctively take care of everyone's feelings, making those you communicate with feel comfortable and respected—this is the cornerstone of maintaining long-term relationships."
"Am I really that good...?" Yui Yuigahama's voice was somewhat dazed. "Can I really do that?"
"As your friend," Dong Yunshan said firmly, "Yukino and I can give you a definite answer—yes, you are very good, even better than I described."
Chapter 893 Review Preparation
After hanging up Yui Yuigahama's call, Dong Yunshan took Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "I wasn't bothering you when you were on the phone."
"So..." Yukino Yukinoshita sat up with his help, reaching out to help him sit down slowly. "Hmm~ So that was a reward for you."
Dong Yunshan put his arm around her slender waist. "And now?"
"This is a reward for not making any strange noises when I rewarded you just now." Yukino Yukinoshita cupped Dong Yunshan's face and lowered her head to kiss him.
Dong Yunshan tilted his head back obediently, silencing her soft, melodious singing.
Her long, flowing hair swayed gently, stirring Dong Yunshan's heart.
Because she has consistently trained with Dong Yunshan, Yukino Yukinoshita's physical strength has improved.
Having physical strength doesn't mean you can use that strength.
Especially when the harder you try, the harder it is to persevere...
Whenever Yukino Yukinoshita wants to rest for a while, Dong Yunshan starts to get restless.
Because she was worried that Dong Yunshan might not be careful, Yukino Yukinoshita had to try her best to take the lead, which naturally made it even harder for her to keep going.
Dong Yunshan held her slender waist, gazing at her trying yet restrained expression, feeling her warmth and tenderness...
Then she bit me.
Yukino Yukinoshita hugged Dong Yunshan tightly, biting his shoulder weakly. Her warm breath lingered on his neck, and her trembling body became more and more languid in his embrace.
Dong Yunshan gently stroked her back. "Shall we go to the bedroom to rest?"
"No..." Yukino Yukinoshita kissed his ear, "Let's rest here..."
She knew Dong Yunshan's thoughts all too well.
Based on past experience, Dong Yunshan will definitely carry her to the bedroom.
During this process, the Dong Yunshan will not only not stop, but will move very slowly.
If I go to the bedroom now, Yukino Yukinoshita will probably...
So you absolutely cannot go to the bedroom; you should rest on the sofa.
"Okay~" Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita and turned around, letting her sit on the sofa. "Rest here."
"Hmm?" Sinking into the soft sofa, Yukino Yukinoshita panicked slightly. "Wait, I just... um~"
Dong Yunshan hooked her arm Yukino Yukinoshita's knee. "You should rest well~"
"If you do this, I... um~" Yukino Yukinoshita glanced downwards, clearly seeing Dong Yunshan's every move. "I... um... how can I... um... rest?"
"Then..." Dong Yunshan slowed her movements, "Like this?"
"That's even more..." Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her lips, trying to control her voice, but only for a moment before opening her mouth again, "I just can't do anything with you~"
"Brother~" Yukino Yukinoshita, her cheeks flushed, opened her arms, her voice trembling slightly, "Hold me tight~"
Dong Yunshan lowered his head and kissed her slightly upturned cherry lips, then pulled her into his arms.
--
"It's already decided." Dong Yunshan sipped her sparkling drink, glancing at Yui Yuigahama looked dejected. "Why are you still looking so gloomy?"
"I was thinking that this last Golden Week of high school, my last relaxing vacation, would be a time to really unwind," Yui Yuigahama, her face puffed out on the desk. "But it's gone in the blink of an eye."
"This is nothing. When you're a little older, you'll realize that several years will have passed in the blink of an eye," Dong Yunshan chuckled. "Don't rush."
"I'm not in a hurry for things like that..." Yui Yuigahama wrinkled her nose. "Speaking of which, I still don't know which university Komachi chose."
Saki Kawasaki wiped the cups as usual, taking a break after getting tired. "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Chiba University as well."
"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama looked up in confusion. "Why?"
Saki Kawasaki checked the materials and started mixing drinks. "Your situation is similar. Since you're going to take the AO Admissions, you should naturally make the most of your strengths and try to get into the best university near your home."
"Moreover, to work in design, connections are, to some extent, more important than professional knowledge," Dong Yunshan added. "Sometimes, a degree from a prestigious university is more important than personal ability."
"Huh?" Yui Yuigahama looked at Yukino Yukinoshita. "Is that so?"
Yukino Yukinoshita's family owns a construction company, so she should have a better understanding of the design industry.
"This is indeed a real phenomenon," Yukino Yukinoshita sighed softly. "Essentially, design is a highly collaborative service industry. Because the design outcome is uncertain, clients can't inspect it in advance like they would a physical product, so the trust threshold is high, making referrals from acquaintances crucial. This leads to information asymmetry within the industry, and many high-quality opportunities are absorbed internally. A degree from a prestigious university is essentially a reflection of personal ability, and it also has the added benefit of an alumni network—but that doesn't mean ability is useless."
Yui Yuigahama's eyes were filled with confusion. "It really doesn't sound like it's going to be of any use..."
"A degree from a prestigious university and connections are amplifiers of ability, not substitutes," Yukino Yukinoshita explained earnestly. "The core of connections is the exchange of value. If your work is subpar, you can only deplete your connections, not build them. And a degree from a prestigious university is only valid for three years after graduation. If you don't have any outstanding work to show for it over a long period, the prestige of your university will become meaningless."
"I see, I understand completely now." Komachi Hikigaya nodded. "Then, Komachi will choose..."
"Chiba University!" Komachi Hikigaya pushed open the door to the activity room and announced loudly, "Product design is Chiba University's top-ranked major, and my family supports me in giving it my all!"
"Really?" Yui Yuigahama hugged Komachi Hikigaya in surprise. "That's wonderful! Now we can go to the same university!"
"Huh?" Komachi Hikigaya blinked. "Does everyone choose Chiba University?"
Saki Kawasaki handed over the prepared drinks. "I had already made up my mind, but I didn't expect them to choose Chiba University as well."
"Oh yeah." Yui Yuigahama also a little surprised. "I thought you guys were going to Tokyo ..."
"I prefer the slower pace of life in Chiba," Dong Yunshan explained. "Besides, my network of contacts is mainly concentrated here."
"With your abilities, you can quickly build connections anywhere." Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at him sideways. "It's me who wants to stay in Chiba."
"So you didn't give up your own ideas to accommodate each other's feelings," Komachi Hikigaya unspoken agreement, right?"
