Transmigrating As a Poor Fake Heiress with Trillions in Family Asset - Chapter 47

Chapter 47: New Year Festival (Part 2)

Although Sang Jing was determined to make Yan Ye suffer, she had to stay at the company for the next two days—the busiest period of the festival—to ensure every link in the chain held firm. Quality control was her top priority.

A few small enterprises had tried to play games, hoping to make a quick buck by shipping substandard goods. However, Sang Jing’s system could monitor the quality of every item on Jing-Selection. These “defective products” practically reported themselves to her. Jing-Selection’s swift crackdown on these rogue merchants trended on social media, earning the platform even more trust.

“On Jing-Selection, the platform intercepts fake goods before they even reach your door,” one user noted. “I once bought something that turned out to be fake. Before it even left the warehouse, Jing-Selection called me, closed the shop, refunded my money, and gave me an equal amount in compensation. You never have to worry about fakes there.”

The WiFi War at Home

Bai Ke, a loyal user who had led her neighborhood aunties through the Fruit Week and Appliance Festival, was ready for battle. But she hadn’t accounted for one thing: she was celebrating her grandfather’s birthday at her parents’ house, where the internet speed was prehistoric.

In the living room, her brother was gaming, her father was streaming news, and her mother was chatting on social media. Everyone was stealing her bandwidth.

After failing to snag her target items for two days, Bai Ke exploded. “Can you all stop stealing the WiFi?! If this keeps up, I’m going to a cybercafe!”

Her mother was confused. “Why are you so angry?”

Bai Ke shoved her phone in her mother’s face. “Look at the prices! All these national specialties are right here, and I’m missing out because the net is lagging! Have you forgotten how cheap those appliances and fruits were?”

Her mother’s eyes widened. “Oh! My group chat was just talking about this New Year Festival. Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

The next day, the “Great Purge” began. Bai Ke’s mother pointed at her son: “You! Go to your friend’s house to play games! Don’t steal your sister’s traffic!” Then to her husband: “Don’t you love playing chess? Go out and don’t come back until midnight!”

With the house to herself and her mother acting as her personal assistant (and offering to fund the shopping), Bai Ke successfully snagged 80% of her list. Even her brother eventually became a convert. After sneaking a peak at the app, he and his classmate realized that school supplies—calculators, pens, and workbooks—were significantly cheaper than at the local bookstore.

They made a pact: “Don’t disturb the women while they shop. It’ll only end badly for us. Let’s just wait and reap the benefits.”

…

International “Invasion”

In Country R and Country H, the skepticism was finally breaking. Mrs. Oda had been hesitant, hearing mixed reviews about products from Country Z. But when her neighbor began receiving boxes of fresh, cheap groceries, her resolve crumbled.

“I’m worried it’s a scam,” Mrs. Oda had told her friend. “I already bought mine,” the neighbor replied, unbothered. “The prices are even cheaper than our supermarkets, even with taxes and shipping.”

By the last day of the festival, Mrs. Oda panicked. If she didn’t buy now, the subsidies would end. She hit the “Pay” button and couldn’t stop. When her husband scolded her for “trusting a scam site,” she cried about their shrinking budget and his stagnant salary.

A week later, she retrieved her first package from a locker. That night, her husband praised her cooking, asking for the same dish in his lunchbox the next day. “Actually, no,” Mrs. Oda said. “You didn’t believe in the Jing-Selection. Since you don’t trust it, you shouldn’t eat it.”

Her husband nearly choked. That night, he secretly downloaded the app himself. He realized that the tools he needed for work and the stationery for their son were much cheaper than local prices. He turned his back to his wife and began placing orders, feeling a deep pang of regret that he hadn’t downloaded it sooner when the New Year prices were even lower.

Media outlets in Country R and H began reporting on this “Shopping Festival Invasion,” with some calling for a government ban to protect local businesses. But for the average citizen, saving money was more important than protecting local capitalists.

The Counter-Attack

As the festival wound down, Sang Jing turned her attention to Yan Ye. He had dared to threaten her and lower her Plot Deviation value. She wouldn’t let him get away with it.

She hadn’t forgotten Wu Lingshan. In the original plot, the female lead got pregnant after a night with Yan Ye. In this timeline, Wu Lingshan was the one who had occupied that room. Sang Jing suspected Wu Lingshan might be pregnant now.

To Yan Ye, Wu Lingshan was his greatest shame—the woman who had tricked him and let the world know about his “minutes-long” stamina.

Sang Jing contacted Wu Lingshan’s father. The Wu family was currently being targeted by Yan Ye’s business maneuvers. “I have a proposal,” Sang Jing said, exuding the aura of a seasoned negotiator. “I know Yan Ye is hounding you. I also know he’s still trying to force me back into a marriage. I can help your daughter safely marry into the Yan family.”

Mr. Wu was intrigued. “I need to see more sincerity, President Sang.” “Of course. Just be ready to seize the opportunity when I give the signal.”

Next, Sang Jing made her first proactive call to Kou Yan. “President Kou, you mentioned wanting to expand into import and export? Are you interested in a partnership with Jing-Selection?”

Kou Yan’s voice was warm. “Let’s discuss it over dinner.”

Sang Jing hung up, her gaze cold. Since you won’t let me live in peace, Yan Ye, don’t expect to live comfortably yourself.
