Yukinoshita's Correction Method

Thankfully, the milk was already warm. Dong Yunshan checked the milk temperature, held the baby at an angle, and touched the nipple to her lips.

Little Lingling quickly found its bearings and began to inhale rapidly, only slowing down after a while.

I patted him to help him burp halfway through feeding, and then patted him again after finishing. It took five or six minutes before I heard two burps.

Once she was sure the baby was asleep, Dong Yunshan carefully put him back in the crib and went to the kitchen to disassemble, clean, and sterilize the bottles.

When I returned to the bedroom, Yukino Yukinoshita was already sitting up, leaning against the headboard pumping milk.

Did I wake you up?

"No," Yukino Yukinoshita said softly, "I woke up feeling bloated... Help me."

Handing over the prepared warm water, Dong Yunshan gently stroked Yukino Yukinoshita's back from top to bottom.

Yukino Yukinoshita relaxed and squinted her eyes, brushing aside Dong Yunshan's hand and leaning into his arms.

Dong Yunshan hugged Yukino Yukinoshita, her hands forming a C-shape, using the base of her thumbs to help press and push.

"Hmm~" Yukino Yukinoshita hummed softly, glancing down at the screen. "I was worried it wouldn't be enough, but I didn't expect there to be so much."

Dong Yunshan watched the liquid level in the baby bottle rise rapidly. "Could it be because I tried too hard before?"

"No way~ No matter how hard you tried before pregnancy, it wouldn't matter." Yukino Yukinoshita's voice was gentle. "After pregnancy, it depends on the baby, and also on my own physical condition."

She tilted her head slightly to look at Dong Yunshan: "Because of your care, I've rested very well, am in a good mood, and am in good health, which is why I feel so well-off."

Dong Yunshan folded her arms. "Then I'll try harder and try to have a little more."

"Baby can't eat that much~" Yukino Yukinoshita snorted softly, her eyes darting around, "Could it be that you want to...?"

Dong Yunshan: "How is that possible?"

Yukino Yukinoshita took off the baby bottle. "Here you go."

Dong Yunshan took the warm bottle, her Adam's apple bobbing. "I really didn't mean that."

Yukino Yukinoshita patted him on the shoulder. "I told you to save it."

"Oh... oh!" Dong Yunshan realized what was happening, poured the milk into a storage bottle, marked the time, and refrigerated it.

Yukino Yukinoshita brought her nose close to Dong Yunshan's mouth and smelled it. "Hmm... Go brush your teeth."

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan covered her mouth with her hand and breathed out gently, but she didn't smell anything unusual.

But since his wife said that, he didn't argue. After brushing his teeth carefully, he also used mouthwash.

"Ha~" Dong Yunshan leaned close to Yukino Yukinoshita's lips, "And now?"

"It's okay now." Yukino Yukinoshita bit her lower lip lightly. "I feel there's still some inside, but I can't pump it out. Can you help me?"

Dong Yunshan: "Huh?"

Yukino Yukinoshita asked in a soft, sweet voice, "Don't you want to help me?"

"Pressing to push should be more effective, right...?"

Yukino Yukinoshita frowned. "Fine, don't worry about it then."

"I want to, I really want to." Dong Yunshan lowered her head, but before she could open her mouth, she was hugged by Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Wait a minute..." Dong Yunshan stiffened. "Could you stop hugging me like that? It feels a little..."

"You liked it so much when you had nothing before you got pregnant, but now that you're pregnant, you don't like it anymore?" Yukino Yukinoshita lowered her eyelids slightly. "Then let's just forget about it."

"No... I just feel guilty."

Yukino Yukinoshita tilted her head in confusion. "Hmm?"

Dong Yunshan: "Fighting with the baby..."

"She's not eating much right now." Yukino Yukinoshita blinked. "Or is this just an excuse?"

Dong Yunshan answered with its actions.

Yukino Yukinoshita pursed her cherry lips and stroked Dong Yunshan's hair. "Open your mouth wider, not like you're using a straw, but in a wave-like motion... just like we practiced before."

"Mmm~" Dong Yunshan responded in a muffled voice.

"Good girl~" Yukino Yukinoshita whispered, her gaze towards Dong Yunshan becoming even more tender.

"You've gained weight again?" Haruno Yukinoshita looked Dong Yunshan up and down. "Haven't you been exercising lately?"

Dong Yunshan hugged Lingling: "Do squats every day."

"That means you've been eating too much," Shizuka Hiratsuka reminded her. "Eat less sweets."

"I didn't eat any sweets..." Dong Yunshan paused, then suddenly remembered something, glanced at Yukino Yukinoshita, "Yeah, I'll be more careful."

Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes narrowed slightly. "Oh? You wouldn't happen to be...?"

"Sister?" Yukino Yukinoshita called out, "Have you been very busy lately?"

"So come over and relax a bit~" Haruno Yukinoshita reached out to Dong Yunshan, "Come here, Lingling, let Auntie give you a hug."

Dong Yunling blinked, looking at her blankly.

Dong Yunshan tried to hand her daughter over, Haruno Yukinoshita carefully took her in her arms.

Once she was sure the baby wasn't going to cry, Dong Yunshan let go of her arm and stretched it a bit.

Haruno Yukinoshita and Lingling, "So, do you know her?"

Dong Yunling stared at her, showing no sign of crying, nor a smile on her face.

"These eyes are exactly like Yunshan's," Shizuka Hiratsuka exclaimed, holding up her finger and drawing two circles in front of Lingling.

Dong Yunling blinked, then suddenly smiled happily and waved her little hand.

Shizuka Hiratsuka was somewhat surprised. "You like the same things too."

"Huh?" Dong Yunshan was taken aback. "Did you tease me like this when I was little?"

"Yes, back then..." Shizuka Hiratsuka's expression froze, and her voice trailed off.

She even teased the Dong Yunshan for three months back then.

Dong Yunshan's baby is now over three months old.

Although Shizuka Hiratsuka no longer has such a strong attachment to marriage, in this situation, it's still inevitable that she'll feel a little...

"So heavy~" Haruno Yukinoshita exclaimed, "Shizuka, come and hold me for a while."

"Huh? Me... me?" Shizuka Hiratsuka reached out in a panic, her face showing obvious worry. "I smoked last year..."

"To be precise, it was six months ago." Haruno Yukinoshita rolled her eyes at her. "Hold on."

"Wait, wait a minute..." Shizuka Hiratsuka wiped her hands hastily, tidied her hair, took off her coat, and then carefully took Lingling from her. "She won't cry, will she?"

Dong Yunling wriggled and nestled in her arms, pressed against her chest, her beautiful big eyes gazing upwards.

Her clear eyes sparkled, reflecting Shizuka Hiratsuka's tense face.

For a moment, Shizuka Hiratsuka felt her heart stop and involuntarily slowed her breathing.

Dong Yunling: "Ah!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "Huh?"

Dong Yunling: "Ah~"

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "Huh?"

Dong Yunling blinked, and the smile on her face vanished instantly.

Shizuka Hiratsuka panicked instantly. "Is she going to cry?"

"She's imitating you," Yukino Yukinoshita explained. "She can now see changes in facial expressions, and although she doesn't understand them yet, she will react accordingly."

Yukino Yukinoshita said softly, "Lingling is so cute~"

Dong Yunling blinked and looked at Yukino Yukinoshita.

"Lingling is amazing~" Yukino Yukinoshita smiled gently, "Aren't you happy to see your aunties?"

Lingling kicked her short legs twice.

Yukino Yukinoshita chuckled softly, "So happy, huh~"

"Click~" Dong Yunling smiled and her eyes crinkled, then she happily twisted her body a couple more times.

Shizuka Hiratsuka finally relaxed a little and smiled, "I could never have imagined you looking like this if I had seen it with my own eyes."

"Taking care of a baby means talking and laughing a lot." Yukino Yukinoshita took Dong Yunling from her arms, held her, and faced Shizuka Hiratsuka. "Lingling, look who this is! This is Shizuka..."

Yukino Yukinoshita paused in her voice.

"There's no need to hesitate." Shizuka Hiratsuka waved her hand. "I'm your aunt now."

"I just suddenly remembered..." Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered, "I think Yunshan calls you 'Auntie' too?"

Haruno Yukinoshita smiled and said, "So Lingling should call Shizuka Grandma?"

Shizuka Hiratsuka replied blankly, "... There's really no need for that."

"Call me Sister Jing," Dong Yunshan suggested, "And then the teacher can call me Uncle Yunshan ..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "There's no need for that at all."

Three-month-old Dong Yunling sleeps about fifteen hours a day. After feeding, she will fall asleep after being comforted.

"Thanks to Grandma Shizuka's help, the auditing team for Cloud Snow Tea is now fully formed, making many things much simpler." Haruno Yukinoshita smiled brightly. "I really didn't expect it to be so effective."

Shizuka Hiratsuka glared at her, annoyed. "So this is how you thank me?"

Haruno Yukinoshita shook her head helplessly. "You didn't like being called 'Shizuka' before, and now you're unhappy to be called 'Grandma Shizuka'."

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "Haruno Yukinoshita?"

Haruno Yukinoshita opened her arms wide. "My dear granddaughter~"

"... Tsk." Shizuka Hiratsuka rationally changed the subject. "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I always felt that I could spot the problems of high school students in time, but I might not be so perceptive about people who have already entered the workforce—but it turns out that many adults in the workforce are not much different from high school students. Their slacking off is almost the same as their daydreaming in class, and their reactions when caught are exactly the same."

"They're all young people, so they don't adapt to society so quickly." Dong Yunshan thought for a moment, "Of course, it should also be related to the memories of their student days being awakened."

"That's quite possible..." Shizuka Hiratsuka nodded. "The audit results of other employees are not as good as mine."

"However, it's also because her personal style is so distinctive that Shizuka is already being remembered." Haruno Yukinoshita patted Shizuka Hiratsuka on the shoulder. "So, she should focus on leading the team."

"How's the development of new products for Cloud Snow Tea going?" Yukino Yukinoshita asked. "I asked Saki Kawasaki before, and she said that it's basically all handled by the R&D center now."

"Speaking of this..." Haruno Yukinoshita's expression was complicated. "A long time ago, I was considering elevating the concept of a blockbuster product to a blockbuster product series, moving from individual R&D to systematic R&D. The general process is to first look at the market, then come up with ideas, and finally make the product. After repeated internal testing and adjustments, and after completing store pilots and consumer testing, it is solidified into a standardized operating procedure, training stores, coordinating with marketing and promotion, and officially launching in the national market."

Dong Yunshan noticed Haruno Yukinoshita's expression. "Isn't this good?"

"I feel pretty good about it too, but talent is a really unreasonable thing." Haruno Yukinoshita sighed. "We put a lot of effort into building a research and development team and establishing a research and development center, but the products we developed still can't compare to Saki Kawasaki's flash of inspiration."

Dong Yunshan: "... Inspiration really is irrational."

"But that doesn't mean the R&D center is meaningless. Inspiration and talent are certainly important, but when it comes to actually entering the market, especially as Cloud Snow Tea grows larger, a scientifically rigorous and mature system is equally important." Yukino Yukinoshita paused, "However, from another perspective, an overly mature R&D system may also lead to problems such as an excessively long R&D process and low efficiency."

"So the situation is just right now: the R&D center is stable, and the genius Saki Kawasaki has made a breakthrough." Haruno Yukinoshita pondered carefully. "As for the issue of the overly long process, we should indeed pay more attention to it. I'll discuss it in a meeting later."

Dong Yunshan tapped his temples lightly with two fingers together. "How about trying a combination of building block innovation, internal competition, and professional endorsement?"

"Oh?" Haruno Yukinoshita's eyes lit up. "Tell me more."

"Modular innovation involves deconstructing existing products into tea bases, milk bases, toppings, syrups, etc., and achieving micro-innovations and low-cost experiments through modular combinations. Internal competition is divided into two teams; the team that develops faster and sells more receives corresponding incentives." Dong Yunshan paused, "As for professional endorsements, I used to think they were unnecessary, but now..."

Looking in the direction of her daughter, Dong Yunshan's eyes softened. "I've been thinking about what formula to buy for Lingling for a long time. I've researched the taste, texture, and nutrition thoroughly, but in the end, my biggest concerns are health and safety."

Yukino Yukinoshita's eyes flickered slightly. "Upgrade the research center to a professional level, thereby establishing brand trust?"

Dong Yunshan grasped Yukino Yukinoshita's hand. "It would be even more perfect if we could collaborate with the Maternal and Child Health Research Center to establish a Dairy Innovation Research Center."

Chapter 938 Moving to a New Home

"Mother-and-baby level safety...?" Haruno Yukinoshita looked at Dong Yunshan deeply, unable to recall how many times she had been surprised by him.

Just when she thought she had a full understanding of Dong Yunshan's abilities, Dong Yunshan would always give her a little surprise.

From product development to internal incentives and quality control, Dong Yunshan quickly provided solutions.

If Yukino Yukinoshita hadn't known that he'd been busy taking care of Yukino Yukinoshita and Dong Yunling lately, Yukino Haruno Yukinoshita would have suspected that Dong Yunshan had been investigating something related to the Cloud Snow Tea.
