Transmigrating As a Poor Fake Heiress with Trillions in Family Asset - Chapter 46

Chapter 46: Decreasing Deviation

Sun Youyou’s family was among the lucky ones; they managed to snag almost everything on their shopping list. Most families weren’t so fortunate, often securing only a third of what they planned—much like the neighbors next door.

Then there were those who ended up with next to nothing, and certainly not the items they coveted most.

Take Wen Qin, for example. As Sang Jing’s best friend and most loyal user since day one, she had participated in every launch week and themed event. But the competition this time was on a different level. Even with increased stock, the user base had exploded, especially with the addition of the two overseas markets.

Wen Qin didn’t lack money; she could buy these goods through other channels, but failing to “win” on Jing-Selection made her miserable. Her father offhandedly remarked, “I heard Sang Jing and her hosts stream from the office. They must have a warehouse for samples there, right?”

Wen Qin’s eyes lit up. Jingjing is my best friend! She won’t mind giving me a few samples.

She called Sang Jing immediately. Learning her friend was just monitoring backend data, Wen Qin announced she was coming over to “deliver the new winter collection” from the Wen family’s clothing line. The Wen family essentially provided Sang Jing’s entire wardrobe—from casual wear to high fashion—as a thank-you for the promotional support Jing-Selection gave their brand.

When she arrived at the office, Wen Qin blushed and admitted her true motive. “I watched your stream, and I tried to grab those sausages last night, but I didn’t get a single one.”

Sang Jing laughed. “I thought you were bringing a gift, but you’re actually here to raid my warehouse?”

“Do you really have samples?!” Wen Qin gasped.

Sang Jing called Zuo Wei and told her to escort Wen Qin to the warehouse. “Take whatever you like.”

Wen Qin skipped out of the office, beaming. People used to think Wen Qin was a fool for being friends with Sang Jing, but after Sang Jing left the An family and built an empire that saved the Wen family’s business, those critics were now green with envy.

Later that day, Wen Qin posted a “heartless” photo on Weibo:

@WenQin: Couldn’t grab anything in the stream, so I had to come to the company warehouse to pick from the samples! Love you, Jingjing!

The comments were a sea of jealousy. Even the wealthy “rich second-generation” heirs lost their composure.

“I see those pig trotters in the top right corner! I was drooling over those during the stream but missed out!”

“Can I be President Sang’s best friend today? I want to raid the warehouse too!”

“Why is my dad so obsessed with real estate? If he’d opened a supermarket, I wouldn’t be staring at someone else’s warehouse crying!”

Regular netizens found a strange peace in this. “Suddenly, I feel balanced. Everyone is equal before the internet! Even the rich heirs have to beg for scraps.”

…

The Warning System

Sang Jing was satisfied with the festival’s success, but someone was determined to ruin her mood. Despite blocking several of his numbers, Yan Ye managed to get through on a new line.

“What do you want, President Yan?” Sang Jing’s voice turned cold the moment she heard him.

Yan Ye sighed, sounding condescendingly helpless. “What is it you truly want? Is it just this public attention and sense of achievement?” He let out a light chuckle. “So, you give Kou Yan money because he supports your career? If I support your career—if I give you whatever you want on a silver platter—would you reconsider our marriage?”

Sang Jing was about to lash out when a transparent panel flickered into existence before her eyes. Over the past six months, she had worked tirelessly to raise the Plot Deviation to 33%. But as she stayed on the phone, the number began to plummet: 32%… 31%… 30%…

[Warning: If you fail to reach 100% Plot Deviation within five years, the system will reclaim everything—including your healthy body and the wealth brought from your previous world.]

“Get lost!” Sang Jing hissed into the phone.

She knew she couldn’t have any intimate contact with the male lead! Every time she dealt with Yan Ye, disaster struck. If this continued, all her hard work would be for nothing. A cold shiver ran down her spine.

Yan Ye was shocked and then enraged. “Fine. Do you have the courage to speak to me like that? Then have the courage to face the consequences!”

…

Friend or Foe?

The line went dead. Sang Jing stared at the deviation value: 28%.

She forced herself to analyze the situation. Why did her interactions with An Siyuan increase the deviation? In the original book, they were mortal enemies fighting over a man. Now, they are friends and business partners. The dynamic had fundamentally changed.

But Yan Ye? Could she be “friends” with him?

Sang Jing frowned. Based on his arrogant “I’ll grant you support” attitude today, friendship was impossible. If they couldn’t be friends, they had to be enemies. To truly deviate from the original plot’s “toxic love-hate entanglement,” she needed to sever the romantic thread entirely.

Since Yan Ye was asking for trouble, she wasn’t going to hold back.
