104: New program – Undercover Investigation 630

Regarding Su Yu, Yan Bingbing had only heard his name initially.

After all, the news of flight M734 nearly suffering a major air disaster some time ago had been widely reported and was well-known.

And as the key figure who resolved the problem, Su Yu's name became familiar to people at that time.

As a CCTV reporter, Yan Bingbing had long wanted to meet this peer who was rumored online to possess almost mythical skills.

Aviation and currency anti-counterfeiting were two completely cross-disciplinary major fields.

Some people might struggle their entire lives to deeply study even one of them, but Su Yu, a twenty-year-old young man who had just started out, had mastered both.

The crucial part was that he not only researched but could actually come up with his own creations!

He received an invitation from the National Aerospace Research Institute in the aviation field.

He also received an invitation from the National Currency Research Institute in the anti-counterfeiting field.

Could this really be achieved by a young man in his twenties?

Yan Bingbing had met excellent peers, but she had never met one so exceptionally talented.

So much so that when she first received the call from an old friend at the Currency Research Institute, she even wondered if she had misheard!

Even national research institutes of that level struggled to invite such individuals, who were few and far between across the country.

Faced with this sudden request, the usually confident Yan Bingbing unexpectedly found herself feeling a bit doubtful.

As a CCTV reporter, she hadn't brought any accompanying photographers on this trip.

Su Yu's current identity was sensitive; if she brought a large group of people, she might not even get to meet him.

Moreover, the television station's task for her was to invite him to participate in the recording of a television program on CCTV Finance Channel next Friday evening.

If successful, she could first film some behind-the-scenes footage of the invitation to serve as a preview and teaser before the program's broadcast next week.

This arduous task thus fell directly upon Yan Bingbing alone.

This made even the seasoned reporter feel a great deal of pressure.

Through information she had gathered in advance, Yan Bingbing found out that Su Yu's current address was a large public rental housing complex in Chongqing's main urban area.

She hadn't expected that a popular Streamer with millions of fans would still live in such a place, being so frugal.

This sparked a strong curiosity in Yan Bingbing about Su Yu even before she met him.

To complete the task as quickly as possible, Yan Bingbing hailed a taxi directly and set off for her destination.

Half an hour later.

The yellow Ferrari stopped far away, two to three hundred meters from the entrance of the residential complex.

It wasn't that the taxi driver didn't want to drive further.

It was because the only road leading to the complex was now crowded with all sorts of Vendors/Peddlers.

There were vendors selling fried skewers, fried potatoes, stinky tofu, and hand-grabbed pancakes—everything imaginable.

There was even an uncle selling shoes from a street stall right in the middle of the road, having spread his goods all over the ground.

The taxi driver was stunned by the scene before him!

"Teacher, I'm really sorry, but as you can see, we can't go any further here. How about you get off here?"

Yan Bingbing poked her head out of the car window, took a look, and stuck out her tongue.

What was going on?

It was clearly afternoon, and the sun was still shining overhead, so why was the road filled with street Vendors/Peddlers?

Was Chongqing's street stall economy really that booming? Weren't the urban management officers doing anything about it?

This had already taken over the normal road, after all.

"Alright, driver, how much is it?"

"Twenty-seven yuan!"

After paying, Yan Bingbing fiddled around in the car for a while.

She put on sunglasses, a baseball cap, and a black mask, making sure she was thoroughly covered before getting out of the taxi.

Given the exposure of her face, she could easily be recognized by viewers if she walked on the street, so necessary concealment measures were required.

As for how to film the program.

The station had specially given Yan Bingbing a miniature camera this time, which she had already placed on the brim of her hat before getting out of the car.

This angle was both discreet and very suitable for filming.

It could provide a completely immersive first-person perspective of everything she saw.

Putting on her Bluetooth earpiece, Yan Bingbing quietly spoke into the other end of the earpiece.

"Director Jiang, I'm ready; we can start anytime."

The Bluetooth earpiece flickered for a moment.

Director Jiang's excited and enthusiastic voice came through the earpiece.

"Bingbing, you've really worked hard."

"This is CCTV Finance's first time broadcasting a program using an undercover visit method. Just proceed at your own pace, and leave all issues of program broadcast quality and signal to us."

"Don't worry about time either; this recording will be simultaneously broadcast live and on television."

"The program will automatically end only after you successfully invite him or completely fail."

"So feel free to record."

Hearing the voice from the earpiece, Yan Bingbing took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and secretly encouraged herself.

Nervous! Exciting!

Although she had been a reporter for so long, this was her first time conducting an undercover visit recording, and it was being broadcast live online and on television throughout.

This feeling was like a war correspondent infiltrating the front lines.

She not only had to constantly worry about her identity being exposed but also needed to diligently send back first-hand information to the rear.

Beep!

With a soft sound from the earpiece.

CCTV Finance's first undercover investigative program officially began!

Yan Bingbing took out her phone and entered the online broadcast channel.

Here, she could see the footage captured by her camera, hear her own voice, and see netizens' chat interactions.

To be honest, this feeling was similar to being a Streamer!

But she was a professional reporter!

...CCTV Finance Channel, online CCTV Finance Channel.

At this moment, it was simultaneously broadcasting Yan Bingbing's first-person perspective footage.

The voiceover narration began after the program aired.

"Welcome to undercover visit 630, a special program presented by CCTV Finance Channel!"

"This is a lifestyle interview program, hosted and broadcast by the popular post-00s reporter Yan Bingbing."

"Our reporter will disguise herself as an ordinary person, enter the lives of the general public, conduct in-depth investigations, and secretly visit to uncover the real living conditions of the people!"

"If you are fortunate enough to become an undercover subject, please do not worry, do not be afraid; boldly speak your true thoughts, and undercover visit 630 will expose harsh truths in the most authentic way! We will help everyone speak out against injustices and redress grievances!"

"Next, let's follow our frontline reporter to meet our first undercover subject!"

The words fell.

The television broadcast's narration abruptly stopped.

Immediately, the ultra-high-definition camera in Yan Bingbing's hat and her Bluetooth earpiece simultaneously began to operate, transmitting the most authentic images and sounds from the front line synchronously to the live broadcast room and the program.

At this point.

The undercover program officially began!
