Early the next morning, Li Qiang sat in Golden Leaf Tea's regional office.
He had spent two days reviewing supplier data.
Something about the market still bothered him.
Then a notification appeared on his tablet.
A link shared in a logistics discussion group.
He clicked it.
The article appeared on the screen.
"Hidden Changes in Hangzhou's Milk Tea Supply Network."
Li Qiang expected amateur speculation.
Instead, he found detailed observations.
The author had correctly identified several distribution changes across the city.
Not everything.
But enough to make him pause.
He scrolled down to the author information.
Lin Yuwei.
Zhejiang University.
Finance major.
Li Qiang tapped another window and began a quick background search.
Within seconds, another detail appeared.
Her father.
Lin Zhenghao — Founder of EastRiver Logistics.
Li Qiang recognized the company name immediately.
EastRiver Logistics wasn't a national giant.
But inside Hangzhou, it controlled several important delivery routes.
Many small suppliers depended on them.
Li Qiang leaned back in his chair.
"A logistics family…"
That explained the sharp analysis.
He saved the article.
Then he saved Lin Yuwei's contact information.
Perhaps this student could help him uncover the invisible force behind the market changes.
