Zhao Shuzhuo heard this and nodded slightly. He quickly thought about the possible cargo that might arrive and blurted out:

"Is it the glass counter we ordered earlier that has arrived? If it really has arrived, how can we get it back?"

"That glass counter is big, heavy, and fragile. We can't afford any mistakes."

A trace of worry flashed across his eyes. After all, this glass counter was an extremely important item for the supply and marketing cooperative, and it was related to its future operations and image.

Wang Jianguo frowned, thought seriously for a moment and then said:

"I think it should be the glass counter. But don't worry, the last time we went to the city to buy goods from the supply and marketing cooperative."

"The guy who moved the goods for us, Xiao Song, told me quietly before he left that the train station has its own trucks and we can borrow them in special circumstances."

"When the time comes, we just need to arrange the manpower and carry it carefully, and we should be able to pull the counter back smoothly."

There was a hint of certainty in his words, trying to reassure Zhao Shuzhuo.

Zhao Shuzhuo nodded slightly, but his brows were still slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he raised his head, with a hint of doubt and worry in his eyes, and asked:

"Jianguo, even though there is such a way, we are not familiar with the people at the train station. Can they easily lend us a truck?"

"What if they don't want to? What should we do?"

There was a hint of uneasiness in his voice. After all, this was related to whether the goods could be transported back to the village smoothly, and there was no room for error.

Wang Jianguo raised the corner of his mouth, revealing a mysterious smile, and moved closer to Zhao Shuzhuo, lowering his voice and saying:

"Brother Zhao, you don't know this. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round."

"In this world, as long as we are willing to give him some benefits, why would he not agree?"

There was a glimmer of cunning and confidence in his eyes, as if he was already familiar with this way of doing things.

After listening to Wang Jianguo's words, Zhao Shuzhuo naturally understood the ins and outs.

In this real world, the power of money cannot be underestimated, and many things can often be solved with money.

However, deep down in his heart, he was somewhat resistant to Wang Jianguo's approach of solving everything with money.

He felt that interactions between people should not be limited to monetary transactions, but should be something purer and more sincere.

He sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness and disappointment in his eyes.

But he didn't know how to express his thoughts to Wang Jianguo, so he just stood there silently, lost in thought.

Wang Jianguo was a sharp-minded and intelligent young man. He noticed that Zhao Shuzhuo fell silent and stopped talking after he finished speaking.

His smart eyes turned slightly, and he instantly understood what Zhao Shuzhuo was thinking. He patted Zhao Shuzhuo's shoulder gently and said earnestly:

"Brother Zhao, I know you have some thoughts about my proposal to use money to solve the problem of borrowing a truck."

"You must think that I am too cold-blooded and heartless, as I only care about using money to settle everything."

"To simply measure people and things in this world with money is to lose all humanity."

Wang Jianguo paused for a moment, his eyes became deeper, and he continued:

"But Brother Zhao, think about it carefully. Humanity is often based on money."

"Look, if the staff at the train station considers our friendship and is willing to lend us the truck."

"Shouldn't we also be a little more considerate and give them something to express our gratitude? Isn't it necessary to have material support behind this gratitude?"

"And if they are unsympathetic and refuse to lend us the money, then will we still have to rely on money to find a solution to this problem in the end?"

"After all, we can't just sit there and watch the goods get stuck at the train station."

As he spoke, he gestured with his hands, trying to make his point clearer. Then, as if remembering something, he gave another example:

"Just like the last time when we came back from the city, that kind grandfather gave us a ride on his ox cart."

"We gave him half a bag of rice when we left. Do you think this is considered a favor or not?"

"This matter is actually very subtle. If you say it's a matter of human feelings, it doesn't seem entirely right."

"After all, we used his car and he took our things. It seemed like a fair transaction, and both sides were even."

"But if you say that I didn't show any favoritism, that's definitely not right. Grandpa can't earn half a bag of rice from pulling a bullock cart normally."

"Isn't the relationship here a mixture of money and human relationships?"

Wang Jianguo's words were clear and logical, and they surged towards Zhao Shuzhuo like waves.

He couldn't find any chance to refute for a moment, and could only stand there in a daze, falling into a long silence.

He was constantly struggling and thinking in his heart. On the one hand, he knew that every word Wang Jianguo said made sense.

This way of doing things, which knows how to utilize resources and weigh the pros and cons, is indeed more likely to achieve great things in today's complex and ever-changing social environment.

On the one hand, he wants to go further on the long road of life; on the other hand, he has lived in this quiet and simple countryside for too long.

I have long been accustomed to the pure and simple way of getting along with neighbors without too many conflicts of interest.

This practice of using money to pave the way for everything made him feel an indescribable discomfort and awkwardness from the bottom of his heart.

After a long time, Zhao Shuzhuo slowly raised his head, with a hint of helplessness and relief in his eyes, and said to Wang Jianguo:

"Jianguo, I know in my heart that what you said is right. Your style of doing things is in line with the development needs of this era."

“Only in this way can we make a difference in the wider world and create a great career.”

"It's just me. I've lived in this rural area for most of my life, surrounded by neighbors who I grew up with and know well."

"When we get along with each other, we always help each other when we have difficulties and share happiness together. I am really not used to dealing with things in this way."

"However, I also clearly realize that times are changing. If I continue to stick to my old ways, it will definitely not work."

"I will try hard to slowly change my thinking, keep up with the pace of this era, and not hold everyone back."
