Transmigrating As a Poor Fake Heiress with Trillions in Family Asset - Chapter 45

Chapter 45: The New Year Goods Festival Begins!

The formal promotion for the Jing-Selection New Year Goods Festival kicked off with a massive blitz across all platforms. In addition to traditional ads, Jing-Selection introduced a cohort of specialized shopping hosts to showcase products through live streams. Notably, dedicated hosts were assigned for Country R and Country H to help international users navigate the festivities in their own languages.

As the brand’s premier “influencer,” Sang Jing personally hosted a live stream. For her, this was more than work—it was a dream come true. In her past life, her frail health prevented her from eating whatever she wanted. Now, she could indulge in a “mukbang” (eating show) session under the guise of work.

The “Honest” Sales Pitch

Sang Jing started with cured meats—specifically sausages. She had a plate featuring spicy Sichuan sausages, sweet Cantonese sausages, and even Korean blood sausages.

She poked a sweet sausage and chewed. “This is very fresh and has a nice chew,” she told the audience. But after two more pieces, her expression faltered. “Honestly, if you eat too many of these in a row, it gets a bit greasy. It’s much better with rice.”

The chat erupted with laughter:

“You’re sabotaging your own sale!”

“Be professional! Don’t tell the truth, just say it’s the best thing ever!”

“How can an honest person be a streamer? Did you forget how you sold us fruit?”

Sang Jing smiled. “I have to be honest.” She then tried the spicy sausage. “Wow, this is amazing! Fragrant and spicy.” But after a few more bites, her lips turned red. “Wait, this is actually a bit too spicy for me.”

Fans teased her for “flipping the car” (failing the stream), but Sang Jing quickly revealed her trap. She ate a piece of sweet sausage to neutralize the spice and declared:

“I’ve figured it out! You can’t just eat one kind. You need to eat two sweet ones, then two spicy ones, and then some blood sausage—all with a bowl of rice. That way, you can eat forever! So, you can’t just buy one. You have to buy all three. And in my stream, the ‘Three-Flavor Bundle’ is cheaper!”

The fans realized they had been played. They were worried about her honesty, but she was busy upselling them on the bundle!

The Global Fever

Sang Jing didn’t put the items on sale immediately. “Today is just a warm-up. The links go live in three days. Mark your calendars!”

This “teasing” strategy worked perfectly. By showing off hundreds of delicacies—rice cakes, cured pork, flower buns, and more—across nearly a hundred live rooms, Jing-Selection created a psychological state of “I must have this.”

In Country R and Country H, users were equally frantic.

“I prepared my money, and you’re telling me I have to wait three days?”

“I watched the stream and ended up eating two extra bowls of my own rice just out of hunger.”

“The netizens in Country Z say we ‘foreigners’ won’t be able to snatch anything from the locals. I’m so nervous!”

…

The Battle of Friday Night

The festival officially went live on a Friday at 8:00 PM.

Sun Youyou, a young office worker, had a “rebellious” streak. The more people praised Jing-Selection, the more she refused to download it, convinced it was all paid hype. But her mother, Xue Lan, was obsessed.

“Download the app and help me snatch these items,” Xue Lan commanded her daughter. “If you don’t help me get my New Year shopping done, don’t bother coming home for the holidays!”

Sun Youyou was speechless. “Am I your daughter, or is this app your daughter?” “I wish Sang Jing was my daughter!” her mother snapped back.

For four hours, Sun Youyou lived in the “fear of being dominated by her mother.” They fought through lags and “out of stock” notifications until midnight. “We only got half the list,” Xue Lan lamented. “Go to sleep early, we will continue tomorrow. Different deals drop at different times!”

…

The Conversion

Sun Youyou planned to delete the app as soon as the weekend was over. She watched her mother kick her father out of the house because “his large frame was blocking the Wi-Fi signal.” It was madness.

However, during dinner, two plates of sausages arrived. Sun Youyou, thinking she would just try a bit, ended up eating two whole bowls of rice. “This tastes incredible,” she admitted. When she heard the price—barely 10 yuan more per pound than raw meat at the supermarket—she was shocked.

“It’s because Jing-Selection buys directly from the factory,” her mother explained. “No middlemen. And Sang Jing promised a million-fold compensation if there’s a quality issue.”

After dinner, Sun Youyou reached for some snacks her mother had bought on the app. They were crunchy, fragrant, and addictive. Sun Youyou looked at her phone. Why did I delete the app again?

She re-downloaded it. She realized she had used all her “New User” coupons on her mother’s groceries and felt a pang of regret. She started browsing for herself.

“This dress I wanted is 30% cheaper here?”

“The snacks I bought at the store last week are a steal on this live stream!”

Two hours later, Sun Youyou stared at a bank notification on her phone. Her entire monthly salary was gone. Who was the person who vowed never to download this app? Who was the person who looked down on online shoppers?

Sun Youyou wiped her mouth, but she didn’t feel an ounce of regret. In fact, she couldn’t wait for the courier to knock on her door.
