115: Mingcheng forged his resume to get a job, and the three men's antics were once again exposed by everyone.

At ten o'clock on Friday morning, Zhu Li had just finished revising an audit report at the accounting firm when her mobile phone popped up a WeChat message from Su Mingcheng: "I'm downstairs at your building. Help me revise my resume. Change my years of service at 'Shengda Trading Company' to three years and add the title of 'Project Supervisor,' otherwise nobody will want me!"

Zhu Li's heart sank — she knew that "Shengda Trading Company" was a shell company Su Mingcheng used to embezzle money. He had only actually stayed there for three months and never held a position. Just as she was about to reply with a refusal, the glass door of the office was pushed open. Su Mingcheng burst in carrying a shabby briefcase and walked straight to her workstation: "Hurry up and change it. I have an interview this afternoon. Don't delay me!"

The surrounding colleagues all looked up. Zhu Li was both anxious and embarrassed: "Su Mingcheng, this is forging experience, it's illegal! I can't help you!"

"Illegal? Stop trying to scare me!" Su Mingcheng reached out to grab Zhu Li's computer. "If you don't help me change it, I'll tell your colleagues you cheated during our marriage! I'll make it impossible for you to stay here!"

Zhu Li protected the computer desperately, tears welling up in her eyes — she hadn't expected Su Mingcheng to be capable of even forging a resume and slandering someone. In her panic, she felt for her mobile phone and, with trembling fingertips, dialed Mr. Xie's number: "Mr. Xie, Su Mingcheng is at my firm trying to grab my computer. He wants me to help him forge a resume and is even threatening me..."

"Don't panic, I'll be there in five minutes!" Mr. Xie's voice was like a reassuring pill. He had just finished a project handover with Su Mingyu at Company Name and was only two streets away from Zhu Li's firm. "Don't let him touch your computer, I'm coming right now!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Li clenched her teeth, held the computer in her arms, and backed away: "Su Mingcheng, if you keep this up, I'm calling the police!"

"Go ahead and call!" Su Mingcheng's eyes were red as he reached out to grab Zhu Li's arm. "I'll see how you work here after you call the police!"

Just as his hand was about to touch Zhu Li, Mr. Xie pushed open the glass door and rushed in. His right hand grabbed Su Mingcheng's wrist while his left hand protected Zhu Li's back, gently pulling her behind him. "Su Mingcheng, you still dare to get physical?" Mr. Xie's fingers exerted slight pressure, using the basic force of the Nine Yin Manual learned from the condor heroes world. Su Mingcheng instantly bared his teeth in pain. "I warned you last time, touch Zhu Li again and I'll break one of your hands. Did you take it as a joke?"

Su Mingcheng's forehead broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but he still talked tough: "I... I'm asking my ex-wife for a little help, what does it have to do with you? Stop meddling in other people's business!"

"An ex-wife should help you forge a resume?" Mr. Xie pulled a printed sheet from his inner universe. It was a real work record he had found on Su Mingcheng's old mobile phone yesterday using "Time Stop" — he had actually served at "Shengda Trading Company" for 3 months without any management position. "Did you think no one knew what you did at 'Shengda Trading Company'? Embezzling money, slacking off, and now you want to forge experience to trick your way into a job. You've got quite the thick skin."

He then opened a video on his mobile phone, recorded yesterday using Time Stop: Su Mingcheng was on the phone with Su Daqiang in an alley, saying, "I'll make Zhu Li help me change my resume. She won't dare refuse, or I'll ruin her reputation." Su Daqiang also said on the phone, "I'll go to Company Name to find Mingyu this afternoon and have her pull some strings for you. We'll approach it from both ends."

As soon as the video played, the surrounding colleagues began to gossip: "So he's a fraud! And he even threatens people!" "Accountant Zhu is so pitiful, still being hounded after the divorce!"

Su Mingcheng's face instantly turned as white as paper. He tried to grab Mr. Xie's mobile phone but his wrist was held firmly. Looking at the video, the last bit of affection Zhu Li had for Su Mingcheng vanished. She picked up the water cup on the desk: "Su Mingcheng, leave right now! Or I really will call the police!"

Looking at Zhu Li's resolute eyes and then at Mr. Xie's cold, hard face, Su Mingcheng could only grit his teeth and say, "I'm leaving! You just wait!" With that, he shook off Mr. Xie's hand, grabbed his briefcase, and ran off dejectedly.

Watching his retreating back, Zhu Li breathed a sigh of relief and whispered while holding Mr. Xie's arm, "Thank you, Mr. Xie. I have to trouble you every time... I was really afraid he would actually grab my computer just now."

"Don't be so polite with me." Mr. Xie pulled a bottle of warm milk from his inner universe and handed it to her. "You were just startled, drink something hot. By the way, I've already spoken to the director. If Su Mingcheng comes to cause trouble again, just have the security guards stop him. The director has already agreed."

Zhu Li took the milk, the warm sensation traveling from her fingertips to her heart, her eyes turning a bit red — Mr. Xie was always like this, not only helping her solve her troubles but also arranging the follow-up. He was so much more reliable than Su Mingcheng.

Just as the two walked downstairs from the firm, Mr. Xie's mobile phone rang. it was Director Su's assistant calling, her tone anxious: "Mr. Xie, this is bad! Director Su's father is crying in the company lobby, saying Director Su is a cold-blooded animal for not helping Su Mingcheng find a job. Many customers are watching, and Director Su is almost in tears from anxiety!"

"I'm coming over now!" Mr. Xie hung up the phone and said to Zhu Li, "I'll send you back to your workstation first, then go to Company Name. Su Daqiang really went to cause a scene as planned."

"I'll go with you!" Zhu Li said immediately. "Su Daqiang is too much, helping Su Mingcheng bully Mingyu. I'll go speak up for Mingyu."

Mr. Xie nodded. After sending Zhu Li back to the firm, he immediately drove toward Company Name. On the way, he pulled a small porcelain bottle from his inner universe containing nine flower jade dew pills — he had specially brought them this morning, fearing The female protagonists might need some conditioning after being startled.

Arriving at the Company Name lobby, he indeed saw Su Daqiang sitting on the floor, holding a copy of Su Mingcheng's resume, crying to the passing customers: "My daughter is a director, powerful and influential, but she won't even help her own brother with a job! My son is almost starving to death, and she doesn't care. She's so cold-blooded!"

Su Mingyu stood by the side, her face pale. She tried to pull Su Daqiang up but was shoved away: "Don't touch me! If you don't help Mingcheng find a job today, I won't get up!"

"Dad, Su Mingcheng forged his resume. Which company would dare to hire him?" Su Mingyu was both angry and helpless. "I've introduced him to three interviews, and he was rejected by all of them because of his fake resume. It's not that I'm not helping!"

"Stop making excuses!" Su Daqiang slapped the floor. "You just don't want to help! Where is Mr. Xie? Mr. Xie helped you so much, let him help Mingcheng find a job!"

Just then, Mr. Xie walked over quickly, holding two recordings: "Mr. Su, you say Mingyu isn't helping Su Mingcheng? Then what about yesterday when you told Su Mingcheng, 'I'll deliberately go to Company Name to cause a scene; Mingyu is soft-hearted and will definitely help you pull strings'? And this one, after Su Mingcheng was rejected from an interview, he told you, 'Anyway, Mingyu will cover for me, I'll just forge a few more resumes.' Why don't you talk about that?"

Mr. Xie pressed the play button, and the two recordings came out clearly. The surrounding customers and employees all understood: "So it was a deliberate scene! This old man is too much of a troublemaker!" "Director Su has it too hard!"

Su Daqiang's face instantly turned a deep purple. He quickly scrambled up from the floor, grabbed the resume, and ran toward the door: "I... I won't cause trouble anymore!"

Watching Su Daqiang's retreating back, Su Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mr. Xie, "Thank you, Mr. Xie. If it weren't for you, I would have been made a laughingstock by the customers again today."

"Don't be so polite with me." Mr. Xie helped Su Mingyu tidy her hair that had been ruffled by the wind. "General Manager Meng just asked you if you want to put Su Mingcheng on Company Name's cooperation blacklist so no one will dare help him pull strings in the future. What do you think?"

"Good!" Su Mingyu nodded immediately. "That's how it should be, to let him know the consequences of forging a resume."

Just as the two stepped into the elevator, Mr. Xie's mobile phone rang again. It was Wu Fei calling, her voice filled with confusion: "Mr. Xie, Su MingPhilosophy just called me. He said he asked a friend in America to help Su Mingcheng find a remote job and wanted me to persuade Zhu Li not to be too tense with Su Mingcheng. Do you think what he said is true?"

"It's fake." Mr. Xie's voice was certain. "I just checked Su Mingzhe's American account. He didn't contact any friends at all. Instead, he transferred five thousand dollars to his younger sister yesterday, saying it was to 'support the maternal family.' Where would he have spare money to help Su Mingcheng find a job? I'm going to your place right now to expose him in person."

Hanging up the phone, Mr. Xie said to Su Mingyu, "I'll take you to your office first, then go to Sister Wu's side. Su Mingzhe is playing the 'good man' again."

"I'll go with you!" Su Mingyu said. "Su Mingzhe is always fooling Sister Wu like this. We need to make him lose face completely."

When they arrived downstairs at Wu Fei's house, Mr. Xie and Su Mingyu had just gotten out of the car when they saw Su Mingzhe telling Wu Fei: "That friend of mine opened a company in Silicon Valley. The remote position pays very well. Mingcheng will definitely do well there. You should persuade Zhu Li not to always go against Mingcheng."

Wu Fei held Xiao Mi, her face full of hesitation — she didn't want to help Su Mingcheng, but she was afraid what Su Mingzhe said was true. Mr. Xie walked over quickly and took out Su Mingzhe's bank statement: "Su Mingzhe, your friend opened a company? When you transferred five thousand dollars to your sister yesterday, why didn't you say you were helping Su Mingcheng? Also, your friend in America didn't open a company at all; he's just an ordinary clerk. Why don't you talk about that?"

The entry on the statement "Transfer to Su Minglan 5000 USD" was particularly glaring. Su Mingzhe's face instantly turned white: "I... that was just to help my sister with temporary turnover. I'll help Mingcheng later..."

"Later?" Mr. Xie sneered. "Last time you said you'd support Su Daqiang in his old age, but you ended up letting Sister Wu pay the mortgage. This time you said you'd help Su Mingcheng find a job, but you transferred money to your sister. Which of your promises have you ever fulfilled?"

Looking at the bank statement, Wu Fei was completely disappointed: "Su Mingzhe, don't ever tell me these empty words again. I won't believe you anymore."

Su Mingzhe opened his mouth, unable to say a word, and could only leave dejectedly. Xiao Mi hugged Wu Fei's neck and whispered, "Mommy, Uncle is a good person, Daddy is a bad person."

Wu Fei stroked Xiao Mi's head and said to Mr. Xie, "Thank you, Mr. Xie. If it weren't for you, I would have been deceived by him again."

"It's only right." Mr. Xie pulled three small porcelain bottles from his inner universe and handed them to Su Mingyu, Zhu Li (who had also rushed over after work), and Wu Fei respectively. "Everyone has been upset today. These are nine flower jade dew pills. Taking one can calm your nerves; don't let it ruin your health. I'll treat you all to dinner tonight to relax properly."

In the evening, Mr. Xie booked a family restaurant. Warm yellow light spilled onto the dining table. Xiao Mi sat next to Mr. Xie, playing happily with a small wooden bird he had given her. Su Mingyu put a piece of sweet and sour pork rib into Mr. Xie's bowl: "Thanks to you today, otherwise Sister Wu, Zhu Li, and I would have been deceived by them. You should eat more of these ribs."

Zhu Li served Mr. Xie a bowl of mushroom soup: "This soup is very fresh. You've been running around all day, you must be tired. Nourish your body."

Looking at the scene before her, Wu Fei said with a smile, "Xiao Mi told me today that she wants Uncle to come and play with her every day. She says Uncle is better than Daddy and can protect us."

Looking at the tender eyes of the three women, Mr. Xie's heart was full of satisfaction — the su family men's joint antics were once again completely exposed by him with evidence, never once succeeding. He raised his glass: "Come, let's have a toast! Here's to us never being bothered by the Su Family's troublesome affairs again. May our lives get better and better!"

"Cheers!" The four glasses clinked together. Xiao Mi also raised her juice cup and shouted in a milky voice: "Cheers! I want to live a good life with Uncle, Mommy, and Aunts!"

Laughter echoed in the restaurant, and the night outside was as gentle as a veil. When the party broke up, Mr. Xie sent them home separately. When he dropped Su Mingyu off downstairs, she took a hand-woven pendant from her bag. It was woven with the character 'Xie' and a small magnolia flower: "Mr. Xie, this is for you. Hanging it in your car can keep you safe. Thank you for always protecting me."

Mr. Xie took the pendant. The weaving was very delicate; he could see the care she had put into it: "I like it very much, thank you."

Su Mingyu's face instantly turned red. She turned and walked quickly into the apartment building, then turned back after a few steps and waved to Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie looked at her back and thought of the red tips of Zhu Li's ears when she thanked him and Wu Fei's trusting gaze. He knew clearly — these three women, who had once been hurt by their original families and failed marriages, had already come to see him as their sturdiest harbor. And he would use his skills and sincerity to always protect them, never letting them suffer the slightest grievance again.

On the drive home, Mr. Xie touched the inner universe at his chest — inside were today's recordings, bank statements, the forged resume, and the little gifts from The female protagonists. Each one was like a medal, witnessing his protection in this world. He knew the su family men might still be unwilling to give up, but as long as he was there, no one could disrupt their lives again. As the night deepened, the car drove steadily under the streetlights, and a smile remained on Mr. Xie's face — the satisfying journey in the all is well world was still continuing. He was already looking forward to the next time he would slap the faces of the su family men, and even more so to seeing The female protagonists completely step out of the shadows and live truly dazzling lives.
