News spread quietly in Hangzhou's business circles.
NorthRiver Supply—
A struggling company—
Had suddenly improved.
Delivery times stabilized.
Efficiency increased.
Client satisfaction rose.
Most people ignored it.
But one person didn't.
Inside a modern office, a young man frowned at the report.
Zhang Rui.
His family controlled several competing supply chains.
"This kind of improvement… overnight?"
He tapped the table lightly.
"Find out what changed."
Meanwhile—
In another part of the city—
Lin Yuwei looked at the same data.
Her eyes were calm, analytical.
"Not natural," she murmured.
"This pattern… it's controlled."
Back at NorthRiver—
The owner stood in front of Chen Mo.
"I've seen enough," he said seriously.
"You get operational control."
Chen Mo nodded slightly.
No excitement.
No pride.
Just quiet acceptance.

Chen Mo's eyes glowed faintly.

Outside, the city continued as usual.
Unaware that a new player had entered the game.
And this time—
He wasn't just participating.
He was preparing to dominate.
