Shen Chenggang's eyes lit up at Shen Mianyin's words, and he was itching to put the plan into action immediately.
"I knew you'd have a way," Shen Chenggang said happily. "I'm glad I didn't act on my own and talked to you first."
"So, when do you think is a good time to do it?" Shen Chenggang asked.
"When were you originally planning to live stream?" Shen Mianyin asked.
"I was thinking of tomorrow midday," Shen Chenggang said. "I usually live stream at midday and in the evening, during peak takeout times. Office workers have time to watch my live streams during their lunch breaks and after work while waiting for their meals."
"Especially if they happen to order from me and have also seen my videos, they'll specifically go watch the live stream," Shen Chenggang said. "I've observed that these two time slots on weekdays are when I have the most viewers. Weekends are actually not as good as these two time slots."
"I figure it's probably because on weekends, everyone is resting, either going out to play or busy with other things at home, unlike on weekdays when they can secretly watch live streams while slacking off at work," Shen Chenggang said. "So I was thinking of revealing this tomorrow midday."
"Then how about the day after tomorrow midday?" Shen Mianyin said. "The day after tomorrow is Wednesday, also a weekday. I'll contact the reporter I know tomorrow and see if she can immediately follow up when you start your live stream the day after tomorrow. But I can't guarantee she'll agree, so I'll ask first, and I'll tell you the result regardless."
"Okay," Shen Chenggang nodded excitedly, even a little excited.
Seeing him like this, Shen Mianyin smiled.
After returning to the company, Shen Mianyin called Reporter Tang and explained the matter to her.
As soon as Reporter Tang heard this, she became extremely excited, "Leave this matter to me!"
"Such explosive news, I have to get this story," Reporter Tang said excitedly.
Now that she was familiar with Shen Mianyin, she spoke more freely, saying, "Such a big thing, why are you only telling me now? If you had told me earlier, the Su family would have been finished long ago."
"I only found out about it recently," Shen Mianyin said. "Su Yiqing lied to our family, that is, her adoptive parents' family, that everyone was gone, that her parents were dead. But I recently found out that my mother and biological brother are still alive."
"They are all kind people, so I reconnected with them. I only learned from my brother that they spent so much money on Su Yiqing's illness, and he still keeps the details of the expenses, receipts, and IOUs for the loans."
"However, this involves my mother and brother, so it's not just my own business, and I couldn't tell you immediately. Now that my brother has taken the initiative to say he wants to get the money back and not let Su Yiqing get away with it, I quickly contacted you."
"You're really thinking of me," Reporter Tang said with a sigh. "There are very few big news stories these days, and when we finally come across one, we're often not allowed to report it. It's really not easy to find a hot topic that we're allowed to report on."
The safest bets are news from the entertainment industry and the wealthy circles like Shen Mianyin's.
Even if it gets suppressed, it will be suppressed after the news out.
At least it will have been explosive for a few days.
After Reporter Tang agreed, Shen Mianyin told Shen Chenggang about it.
The beginning of the matter was very smooth, and Shen Chenggang felt it was a good omen.
On Wednesday, Shen Chenggang started his live stream as scheduled.
Fans noticed that, unusually, Shen Chenggang wasn't out delivering food.
Instead, he was sitting at a table wearing his delivery uniform, against a plain white wall.
"Some friends have asked me before, since I'm delivering food and also getting tips from my livestream, I should have made some money. Why am I still living so poorly? Am I deliberately posing to create a poor persona?" Shen Chenggang said. "I've said before that I'd find a chance to give a proper response. Today, I've decided to tell everyone the truth."
"My family is indeed not wealthy. My father passed away from cancer a few years ago, but as a native of Beijing, fortunately, we still have a roof over our heads. Although it's an old and small house, it saves me a large expense of renting. If I relied on delivering takeout and my live stream income, it should be enough to improve the living conditions for me and my mother."
"However, there's another situation in my family. When my younger sister was born, she was switched at birth with the daughter of the Su Corporation." Shen Chenggang even showed a picture of the Su Corporation. "That's right, everyone, this Su Corporation, a well-known enterprise in our Beijing, I believe many people know about it."
"And the widely publicized news about the 'true and false heiress' was actually about my family and the Su family," Shen Chenggang said.
[Wow, I didn't expect you were the person involved, bro.]
[Even though the fake heiress left the Su family, she should still have a lot of money. Why doesn't she acknowledge you?]
"My biological sister, Shen Mianyin, is a very good person. She only recently found out about my mother and me. That ungrateful Su Yiqing, after returning, told everyone that we were all dead, that there was no one left in our family," Shen Chenggang took a deep breath. "So, my sister never knew we existed."
Friends, if we had intentionally switched the children to let my sister enjoy a life of luxury in the Su family, then whatever they say or however they retaliate, we would deserve it."
"But we didn't. It was a mistake at the hospital when the babies were switched. It's impossible to trace back to which nurse was responsible at the time. The Su family are victims, but my family are even more so."
"Why do I say that? Since everyone has followed the news about the true and false heiress, you should also know that Su Yiqing's health is very poor and she needs a kidney transplant."
"She has been in poor health since she was a child, constantly suffering from major and minor illnesses. Her family has been treating her all along. Later, it was discovered that she had a kidney problem. In addition to waiting in line for a kidney transplant, her family also had to continue treating her to maintain her condition while waiting for surgery."
"Su Yiqing was only recently recognized by the Su family. Before that, our family had been bearing the cost of Su Yiqing's illness." Shen Chenggang took out a stack of receipts. "I have kept these receipts, and I will publish them online one by one later. These, one by one, are all the money our family spent on treating her illness."
"My father had cancer, and later our family simply couldn't afford two seriously ill patients." At this point, Shen Chenggang shed tears. "My father said that he was already in the late stage of cancer, and even if he continued treatment, he wouldn't have much time to live. It would be better to save the money for Su Yiqing's treatment. Su Yiqing is still young and shouldn't die at such a young age."
"So in the end, our family could only give up on my father's treatment and use all the money to treat Su Yiqing."
"But our family's financial situation wasn't good. How could that money be enough to sustain it? Her illness was a money pit!"
"We could only borrow from relatives. At first, relatives were willing to lend us money. But later, as we borrowed more and more, our relatives' families weren't wealthy either, and knowing that we wouldn't be able to repay them anytime soon, maybe not even for decades, they stopped lending us money because everyone has their own difficulties."
