Transmigrating As a Poor Fake Heiress with Trillions in Family Asset - Chapter 26

Chapter 26: The Mad Dog Male Lead, Kou Yan

Although many new farmers contacted Jing-Selection wanting to join the campaign, the schedule for the “Aid the Farmers” week was already completely full. These latecomers could only open individual or village-level stores on the app later. While Jing-Selection provided some free promotion for self-run stores, the shipping and packaging costs had to be borne by the merchants themselves.

Regardless, the event successfully taught users that Jing-Selection was a place to buy fresh produce. Even if prices rose slightly later, users understood it was no longer “event pricing.” The platform even guided farmers of transport-friendly vegetables like sweet potatoes and pumpkins to join, expanding the catalog nationwide after the launch week.

Current users, however, were laser-focused on the active fruit deals. Those selected for the main event were the luckiest—their entire inventory sold out in minutes. Other farmers on the platform also saw a steady stream of orders thanks to the spillover traffic.

…

The Wisdom of the Crowd: Group Buying

Bai Ke, a loyal user, was initially happy about the event but worried about the 10-pound minimum per order. She loved fruit, but 10 pounds was a lot for one person to finish before it spoiled.

Her neighbors, mostly middle-aged women who were fascinated by the app but confused by the technology, approached her. “Xiao Ke, you’re young and smart. Can we place orders together?”

Bai Ke’s eyes lit up. Of course! They formed a “Group Buy” chat. Groups of three to five families would split a 10-pound order, allowing everyone to taste ten different kinds of fruit for the cost of just 50 or 60 yuan without any waste.

Bai Ke shared this method on Sang Jing’s Weibo, and it immediately rocketed to the top of the “Hot Comments” section.

“C-City residents, anyone want to split an order? Private message to me!”

“I’m at a dorm—my roommates and I are doing this so we don’t end up with 10 pounds of just one thing!”

Sang Jing hadn’t expected this. She set the 10-pound limit for logistics and packaging efficiency, not realizing how “greedy” (in a cute way) her users were for variety. Seeing her comment section turn into a matchmaking service for fruit splitters, she posted a lighthearted warning:

@SangJing: When splitting orders with strangers, please prioritize your personal safety and property. Don’t get scammed.

Her fans immediately swooned, calling her “nurturing” and “protective.”

The “Tough Guy” Manager’s Despair

Zhang Meng, a purchasing manager at a local company, was another loyal fan. Moved by the promotional videos of struggling farmers, he convinced his boss to replace the usual employee benefits with “Aid the Farmer” fruit boxes. He even coordinated with an old classmate who was a journalist to cover the story, turning a corporate benefit into a PR win.

He boasted on Sang Jing’s Weibo: “President Sang, I’m solving several hundred pounds of stagnant fruit today to do my part!”

The replies were all just the “smiling face” emoji—the one that looks slightly mocking. Zhang Meng didn’t understand why… until he tried to buy the fruit.

By the time he finished comparing fruit quality for his employees, everything he wanted was sold out.

“Sold out!”

“Sold out!”

“Out of stock!”

Zhang Meng was tearing his hair out. “I already promised the employees! I promised the boss! My journalist friend is coming! I can’t find a single orange!”

In desperation, he sent a private message to Sang Jing: “President Sang!! Help!! I can’t finish my work task because I can’t snatch your fruit! Grant me a link for a few hundred pounds!”

He didn’t expect a reply, but Sang Jing happened to be browsing fan feedback. Seeing his plight—and the fact that he was buying for a good cause—she replied: “Sure. Give me a list of what you need, and I’ll have someone create a dedicated link for you.”

Zhang Meng was stunned. Is this the real President Sang?! He was so touched he nearly died of happiness. Sang Jing used the system’s “Product Dialogue” function to vet high-quality new merchants who weren’t on the main event page yet and sent him a private link.

The fruit arrived fresh and massive. The PR story was a huge hit, and the news of Sang Jing’s personal assistance went viral nationwide. Other fans were green with envy: “President Sang! Why him and not us?!”

…

The Mad Dog’s Relapse

While the internet was celebrating, Kou Yan was having a breakdown.

He hadn’t had an episode in a long time, but the sight of fans calling Sang Jing “wife” and “hubby” made his blood boil. He couldn’t sleep. He stayed awake until dawn, listening to the Husky puppy snoring peacefully beside him. (He only tolerated the dog because Sang Jing had helped pick it.)

Kou Yan didn’t understand his obsession. He was supposed to be interested in his “savior,” An Siyuan, but ever since Sang Jing stepped into the wrong car that day, she had occupied his mind. He saw her as warm and clean—someone who bore no ill will toward the world but feared none of its malice.

The next day, Kou Yan was in a state of manic agitation—a symptom of his bipolar disorder. His assistant trembled, knowing someone was about to be destroyed.

Kou Yan asked coldly, “When the An family used those internet trolls, they tried to make me misunderstand Jing-Selection and make Sang Jing my enemy, right?”

The assistant nodded. “Yes, President. The evidence shows Mrs. An and Zeng Pan tried to drag the Kou Corporation into their fight.”

Kou Yan sneered. “They have a lot of nerve trying to use me.”

Then, the An Corporation collapsed. Kou Yan moved with a “madman’s” efficiency. He ordered all Kou Corporation malls to immediately evict any and all An family home appliance brands, citing various minor violations.

When Sang Jing heard the news, she realized she had almost forgotten this was a novel world. In the original plot, Kou Yan—obsessed with An Siyuan—had destroyed her family’s business in a fit of rage after she rejected his kidnapping/marriage proposal.

In the novel, it was a “King of Liang breaks the world” moment, resolved in a few hundred words. Seeing it happen in person, Sang Jing realized Kou Yan was truly mentally ill.

“Can’t even a dog heal him?” Sang Jing’s mouth twitched. She decided she must be nicer to Kou Yan in the future and never offend him. She wasn’t sure if the system’s billions could keep up with a trade war against a literal madman.

…

The An Family’s Despair

The An family was in shambles. Losing half their offline market overnight caused the public to assume the company was failing. Sales plummeted.

“This is all you’re doing!” Mr. An roared at his wife. “Who gave you the courage to provoke Kou Yan?!”

Mrs. An was trembling. She thought the matter had passed. “What do we do? Everything we own will disappear!”

An Siyuan stood upstairs, her mind blank. She never realized the world of the wealthy was so terrifying—one wrong move and you’re a debtor overnight. If they went bankrupt, what would happen to her?

Downstairs, Mrs. An paced the room. “Husband, let’s go to the Yan family. Let them help us through this.”

Silence followed. No one knew if the Yan family would risk Kou Yan’s wrath to save them.

Suddenly, an image flashed in An Siyuan’s mind: Sang Jing. Sang Jing could help them. Sang Jing could let them open an online store—just like selling clothes or fruit.
