Yukinoshita's Correction Method

"At least let me do some emergency treatment. Otherwise, the longer it takes, the harder it will be to remove the stain." Dong Yunshan talked to the waitress and brought a dry towel and a towel soaked in detergent. "Excuse me."

Place a dry towel under the stain, and then gently pat it with a towel soaked in detergent. The stain left by the juice will be squeezed out little by little.

"Please clean it again when you get home, and it should be fine after that," Dong Yunshan promised. "If it doesn't come out, please feel free to contact me for compensation."

The customer's expression brightened slightly, and he used a dry towel to absorb the remaining water stains: "Be more careful next time."

Dong Yunshan smiled and responded: "Definitely."

There was a click and the door of the cafe was pushed open.

A female college student came back with an umbrella: "Sorry, I just realized I took the wrong umbrella."

She picked up the men's umbrella in her hand, looked around the store, stopped at the male customer, and walked slowly towards him: "It should be yours, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." The male customer reached out to take the umbrella, and then...

Snapped!

A crisp slapping sound was heard, and the female college student slapped the male customer the moment he reached out to take the umbrella.

"You..." The male customer looked confused, "Do we know each other?"

"You're a jerk!" the female college student glared at him fiercely. "Do you remember Yoko?"

The male customer opened his mouth: "She...I..."

"Don't let me see you again!" The female college student picked up the ladies' umbrella in the umbrella bucket and turned away.

Dong Yunshan coughed lightly and asked, "Do you need a towel?"

The male customer glanced at the waitress, his face turned pale and blue, and finally he left with his umbrella without saying anything.

Dong Yunshan walked towards the counter: "He probably won't come again this time."

"Thank you..." The waitress breathed a sigh of relief and glanced towards the window. "Are they your friends? Leave work early today and go chat with your friends."

"Thank you, senior." Dong Yunshan returned to his seat by the window with the orange juice, "Here."

Yukinoshita Yukino took the orange juice: "I thought it was just a quarrel..."

"It seems like he's really angry." Dong Yunshan chuckled, "Those who do too much evil will eventually perish."

"So..." Yuigahama Yui asked directly, "What's going on?"

Dong Yunshan spread his hands: "I don't know."

Yuigahama Yui: “Huh?”

"It's just that the girl who took the umbrella had something private to tell that male customer, and I think it would be helpful to the current situation." Yukinoshita Yukino took a sip of orange juice, "So Yunshan needs to hold him back for a while."

"Huh?" Hikigaya Komachi asked curiously, "Do you know that female college student?"

Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino both shook their heads.

"When I was about to leave the store, I realized my umbrella was missing. Besides the umbrellas of other customers in the store, there was another umbrella in the umbrella bucket. There are usually two possibilities." Dong Yunshan raised his finger. "One is that someone forgot their umbrella here, and the other is that someone else stole my umbrella."

"It's been raining all afternoon, so everyone who comes to the cafe should have brought their own umbrella. Even if they don't, there are umbrellas available in the store. There's no need to steal other people's. The rain just stopped when we arrived, so the customers who left the store before us wouldn't have forgotten to take their umbrellas." Yukinoshita Yukino put down her cup and concluded, "So, the first possibility can be ruled out."

"The second possibility is that someone took the wrong umbrella." Dong Yunshan pointed in the direction of the umbrella barrel. "The problem is that the extra umbrellas are women's umbrellas. Men's and women's umbrellas are very different in size and weight, and the handles feel completely different too. You can basically tell when you hold them in your hands, so the possibility of accidentally taking the wrong one is very small."

Yuigahama Yui blinked her eyes. "So that's how it is... No! Doesn't that mean both possibilities are impossible?"

"There's no chance of it being taken accidentally..." Hikigaya Komachi discovered the blind spot. "So it's very likely that it was taken intentionally?"

"Did you take the wrong one on purpose? Why would you do such a thing...ah!" Yuigahama Yui suddenly thought of something, "To come back."

"Huh?" Kawasaki Saki was puzzled. "If you want to come back, you can just find any excuse. There's no need to deliberately take the wrong umbrella."

"Because she's with her friends!" Yuigahama Yui smiled mysteriously, "So we need a legitimate reason, and we also need to let her stay in the store for a while."

A question mark appeared above Kawasaki Saki's head: "......?"

"Because I'm with my friends, I need to find a suitable reason to leave them and go alone." When it comes to this aspect of the problem, Yuigahama Yui's thoughts suddenly become clear. "But if I say I forgot to take something and need to go back to get it as soon as I go out, my friends will follow me back. So I need to walk some distance and go to another store where I can kill time. Tell my friends, you guys wait here, I took the wrong umbrella and will go back to change it."

Saki Kawasaki has a complicated expression...

Are there so many things to pay attention to when socializing with high school girls?

It feels more complicated than taking care of my younger siblings at home.

"Because we have to walk quite a distance, we need to ensure she can't leave during this period." Hikigaya Komachi nodded. "Taking away her umbrella may not be very effective, but it will at least buy her some time. Combined with the time it takes to drink coffee, it's more than enough for her to walk for a while before returning."

"Originally, this plan was fine." Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Azuma Yunshan, "But because someone always pretends to be someone else's boyfriend, it irritated that customer. The customer, who originally wanted to enjoy the coffee for a while longer, chose to leave early."

Pretending to be someone else's boyfriend... Saki Kawasaki glanced at Yukinoshita Yukino.

There seemed to be a lot of resentment in his tone.

Is this the reason why they broke up before?

Volume 6: Chapter 226: Ex-boyfriend Issues

"I admit that I'm a bit path-dependent." Dong Yunshan rubbed his chin. "I'll have to try a different strategy next time."

"So, what's certain is that the person who took the wrong umbrella did it on purpose, wanting to have an excuse to come back." Hikigaya Komachi followed Yuigahama Yui's line of thought and analyzed, "Because they wanted to avoid their friends, it was a relatively private matter - but why are you so sure that this matter will help Yunshan's commission?"

"When we arrived, those college students had just left. If it was for the store employees, there would be no need to use this method, so the target is the customers." Yukinoshita Yukino further explained, "There are three possible situations when targeting customers."

"First, we rule out the possibility of mutual acquaintance. That way, they wouldn't have to go through all that trouble. They could just contact each other on their phones to schedule an appointment, or just whisper something while passing each other in the restroom." Dong Yunshan gestured with a "yeah" gesture. "The remaining two scenarios are one-sided acquaintance and strangers. If they're strangers, the girl's goal is to get to know each other. If the customer accepts, she won't have to pester the senior staff in the store in the future. If she doesn't, she can also raise the issue of being harassed by someone she doesn't like."

"If it's a one-sided acquaintance, it could be either favorable or unfavorable. Favorable feelings refer to situations where both parties are strangers, while unfavorable feelings are when the girl knows about the boy's past. The purpose of returning specifically could be to question or argue." Yukinoshita Yukino paused. "In either case, there's a high chance it will be helpful for the client, so Yunshan needs to hold back the departing customer."

How to drag it?

Pour the juice.

It was obviously too late for Dong Yunshan to return to the counter to get more juice, so Yukinoshita Yukino gave her cup to Dong Yunshan.

Yuigahama Yui thought about the whole process and nodded in sudden realization.

Hikigaya Komachi also had an expression of "I see."

Wait... Saki Kawasaki couldn't understand.

Although Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino's explanation was very coherent.

But there is a big problem here: the two people completed a near-perfect cooperation with almost no communication.

In the eyes of Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Komachi, does this strange tacit understanding require no explanation at all?

Maybe it’s not necessary.

If they had seen Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino getting along better, they would naturally not be surprised by their previous understanding.

We already have a tacit understanding now, and when we have an even better understanding, it will naturally be... passionate love.

So Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Komachi saw the appearance of Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino when they were in love.

Now it all makes sense.

Saki Kawasaki nodded slightly.

No wonder after Azuma Yunshan rarely stayed in the Service Club, Yuigahama Yui deliberately brought up the topic of Azuma Yunshan with Yukinoshita Yukino.

No wonder Hikigaya Komachi suggested coming to the restaurant where Higashi Yunshan works part-time.

Because they all support the reunion of Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino!

One of the eldest sister’s ways of managing the household: If you want to get along well with your younger siblings, you must first understand their needs.

Saki Kawasaki is not as good at the details of getting along with friends as Yuigahama Yui.

But as long as she understands the demands of everyone in the service society, she will be able to handle the relationships well.

However...she was not optimistic about the requests of Hikigaya Komachi and Yuigahama Yui.

For two people with such a tacit understanding to break up, there must be a big conflict between them.

It is even possible that it involves issues of principle.

If you act rashly and force them to get back together before the problems are resolved, there is a high chance that they will separate again due to the same problems.

Their problems should be left to them to solve themselves.

The two are considering getting back together after breaking up. It's not like they have never been in love before, so they don't need others to teach them how to fall in love.

Wait a minute... they haven't really been in love before, have they?

This thought flashed through her mind for a moment, but was then dismissed by Saki Kawasaki.

how is this possible.

The two of them have such a tacit understanding that they even ask each other what they want to eat after a quarrel, just like an old married couple.

If Azuma Yunshan and Yukinoshita Yukino were not high school students, Kawasaki Saki would suspect that they were considering remarrying.

Yukinoshita Yukino tasted the dessert and said, "Is the cleanup work for the old commission finished?"

"It's still in progress." Dong Yunshan raised his hand and said, "I'm planning to help my friend who runs a milk tea shop upgrade his business, so I came to the cafe to learn."

"Milk tea... is it pearl milk tea?" Yuigahama Yui said excitedly, "The Pearl Lady kind? Are they going to open in Chiba?"

Pearl Lady's stores are mostly located in the business districts of Tokyo and Osaka, in the form of small stalls, specializing in original pearls, vegetable pearls and chocolate pearls, as well as innovative products such as pearl jelly drinks and pearl milkshakes.

Currently, most cafes and restaurants offer milk tea, but pearl milk tea is only offered by a few niche dessert shops, and there are quite few chain stores like Pearl Lady.

"We're still in the preparation stages, and the initial plan is to open in Chiba." Azuma Yunshan looked at Kawasaki Saki, "If you have time, you can study the strawberry milk cap you had earlier. It would be best if you could come up with a detailed recipe. I can then give you a commission based on the sales volume."

Kawasaki Saki was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

Yukinoshita Yukino stared at Azuma Yunshan: "Is this your previous plan?"

Offer Saki Kawasaki a job developing beverages, where she can use her talents without having to stay up late.

It also aligns with the purpose of the Service Society to teach people how to fish.

Dong Yunshan nodded: "Yes, but the risk is a bit high, and the specific income is uncertain..."

The main problem is that it's too early. In a few years, when he is old enough to be the legal representative and the bubble milk tea craze really takes off, everything will be more stable.

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at her unkindly: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

In order to know Azuma Yunshan's plan, Yukinoshita Yukino was even held in his arms while sleeping...that's not right.

It was Azuma Yunshan who kept the secret, so Yukinoshita Yukino had to ask, and then the two of them...

"If you want to ask nicely, there's no need for me to hide anything." Azuma Yunshan met Yukinoshita Yukino's gaze and asked, "Do you want to think back to your attitude back then?"

Yukinoshita Yukino thought for a moment and said, "You are the one who is trying to hide the truth."

Dong Yunshan corrected him: "It's you who's pressing on and on."

"If you explain clearly, will I continue to press you?"

"If you hadn't pressed me so hard, I would have made it clear long ago."

Yuigahama Yui looked at this familiar scene: "It started again..."

Hikigaya Komachi smiled and said, "It's pretty good, isn't it?"

Saki Kawasaki: “…” The relationship between exes is really subtle.

Volume 6: Chapter 227 Partners

"I lost one-third..." Dong Yunshan flipped through the account book. "It's much better than I expected."

"Brother Shan," the cockscomb-haired man said, his comb drooping with worry, "how much did you initially expect to lose?"

"I'll have to pay at least half of it in the first month, and it'll take about half a year to break even." Dong Yunshan checked the detailed account. "It's a shame society is harmonious now, otherwise two months would be enough."

"Two months?" Cockscomb Jiguanzi suddenly became perky. "How can it be so fast?"

Dong Yunshan knew them all by heart: "Arson to take out rivals, bribery to take out legislators, paint-throwing to take out ranches, first bargaining for contracts to squeeze out competitors, then raising prices to generate revenue, plus logistics information service fees, the payback is quick."

Cockscomb Hair looked bewildered. "Logistics information service fee?"

Xiao Wen explained: "Protection money."

"I understand." Cockscomb touched his comb with a look of regret, "What a pity... It can't be used now."

"That's good to know." Dong Yunshan glanced at him. "If you really use that kind of method, basically someone will come to investigate in the fourth month, and all the profits will be thrown into the system. The exclusion regulations will be further tightened next year. We have to do it first and then investigate, so we have to ensure it is absolutely clean."

"What about the other clubs?" Xiaodao said with displeasure, "Several of them are copying us and making more money than us."
