Meanwhile, Lin Yuwei was sitting in a university classroom reviewing new logistics data.
Li Qiang had shared some supplier records with her.
At first she treated it as an academic puzzle.
But now the patterns were becoming clearer.
Several companies had received capital injections recently.
Those companies happened to control important delivery routes.
That alone wasn't unusual.
But when she mapped the changes on her laptop…
A network diagram appeared.
Suppliers.
Warehouses.
Transport companies.
All connected.
Lin Yuwei leaned forward.
Someone wasn't just investing randomly.
They were building influence over the entire supply chain.
Her heartbeat quickened slightly.
If this was intentional…
It meant someone was quietly reshaping Hangzhou's beverage market.
And that person was extremely skilled.
