After hearing what Wang Jianguo said, Zhao Xiande felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.

His face instantly became extremely ugly, turning red and then pale.

In this vast northern wilderness where few outsiders have set foot, Zhao Xiande has been operating his own sphere of influence for many years.

Although he cannot be said to be omnipotent, at least in Jianye Village, he is a feared figure, and no one has ever dared to challenge him so boldly.

Wang Jianguo was just a new boy, but he dared to speak to him in such a tone. He could not accept it in any way.

He was so angry that his hands were shaking slightly. He stared at Wang Jianguo fiercely, as if he wanted to cut him into pieces with his eyes.

However, reason told him that he couldn't act on impulse at this moment. He had to bow to reality. After all, Wang Jianguo's words did make sense.

He frowned and pondered for a long time, weighing the pros and cons in his mind. He thought, first agree to Wang Jianguo and open the supply and marketing cooperative.

When my wife goes to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, will there be any benefits? At that time, I will slowly find a way to deal with this ignorant boy.

So, Zhao Xiande suppressed his anger, raised his chin slightly, and said to Wang Jianguo:

"You don't have to threaten me. It's just a backdoor, right? I'll agree to it. But let me make it clear first. I won't pay a penny. You have to pay for the travel and food."

There was still a hint of arrogance and reluctance in Zhao Xiande's tone, as if he had made a huge concession.

Wang Jianguo then nodded slightly and said to Zhao Xiande calmly:

"Of course, it won't cost you any money."

Wang Jianguo's expression was calm and firm. He knew he had to make some concessions in order to make things go smoothly.

Seeing that Wang Jianguo was so generous and did not hesitate at all, Zhao Xiande couldn't help but be moved.

He immediately thought that he must give Wang Jianguo a good beating and not let this kid get too complacent. He rolled his eyes and said:

"Then get ready. When the next train comes, we'll set off."

There was a sly gleam in his eyes, as if he had already seen the scene of Wang Jianguo being ripped off by him and losing all his money.

Wang Jianguo stood up, nodded again, and then slowly walked out of Zhao Xiande's house.

Although he felt somewhat helpless, he also knew that this was the best solution at the moment.

He must get the supply and marketing cooperative's affairs settled as soon as possible and contribute to the development of the village.

As for Zhao Xiande, he will always be vigilant and will not give him any opportunity to take advantage of.

Wang Jianguo returned to Zhao Shuzhuo's home with slightly tired steps.

As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw Zhao Shuzhuo sitting there with a dark face, his chest heaving, obviously still angry.

Wang Jianguo shook his head helplessly, walked forward lightly, slowly squatted down beside Zhao Shuzhuo, patted his shoulder gently, and said in a gentle voice:

"Okay, don't be angry. It's really not worth it to be angry with someone like Zhao Xiande."

"It took me a lot of effort to finally convince him. He agreed to take us to see Secretary Dong."

When Zhao Shuzhuo heard Wang Jianguo's words, he turned his head sharply, his eyes full of anger and unwillingness. He said angrily:

"How can there be a person like him! He doesn't take favors seriously at all. Even if it's for the supply and marketing cooperative, I don't want to ask for help."

"How can he be so nice? He has agreed to take us to see Secretary Dong, but after the matter is accomplished, he will definitely rely on us."

"Do we have to ask him for help? Can't we find a way ourselves?"

The more excited Zhao Shuzhuo became, the higher his voice unconsciously became.

Wang Jianguo frowned slightly and fell into deep thought. After a while, he slowly spoke:

"I don't want to rely on him, but the current situation is really tricky. If we don't go through him, it will be difficult for us to find Secretary Dong."

"Think about it, without Secretary Dong's recommendation, how could those glass factories easily sell glass to ordinary people like us?"

"They will definitely have various concerns and requests."

Zhao Shuzhuo was silent for a long time after listening to Wang Jianguo's words. His eyes scanned the room back and forth, as if he was thinking about some important decision.

Suddenly, his eyes became firm, he clenched his fists, raised his head, and said to Wang Jianguo in a decisive tone:

"Comrade Jianguo, I've made up my mind. In order to avoid this trouble in the future, we will go find the resources ourselves."

"I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely find a way. We can't always rely on others, we must have our own responsibilities and courage."

After saying that, Zhao Shuzhuo stood up, his eyes full of fighting spirit.

Wang Jianguo frowned slightly, his eyes showing a thoughtful look, as he carefully pondered what Zhao Shuzhuo had just said.

I have to admit that what Zhao Shuzhuo said actually makes a lot of sense.

Once they get into trouble with Zhao Xiande, he will definitely cling to them endlessly like a piece of taffy that can't be thrown away.

Thinking of this, Wang Jianguo couldn't help but feel a little worried.

However, Wang Jianguo was anxious in his heart. He was eager to get things done as soon as possible so that he could take time to collect spiritual energy.

After all, collecting spiritual energy is extremely important to him and there can be no delay at all.

If they go looking for resources at the glass factory themselves, Wang Jianguo believes that they will be able to find them with their hard work and persistence.

However, this will undoubtedly take a lot of time, and time is so precious at this time.

Wang Jianguo was caught in a dilemma, unable to make a decision. It seemed as if two villains were arguing fiercely in his heart.

One was saying that Zhao Xiande could not be relied upon, lest endless troubles would follow; the other was emphasizing the urgency of time, urging him to make a decision as soon as possible.

Wang Jianguo felt extremely conflicted and didn't know how to choose.

After a long while, Wang Jianguo slowly raised his head, looked at Zhao Shuzhuo, and said sincerely:

"I'll think about what you said. There are still several days before the next train arrives, so let's just leave it at that for now."

"I'll tell you my decision after I've thought about it."

Wang Jianguo's eyes revealed a hint of fatigue and helplessness. He knew that this decision was not easy to make, but he had to consider it carefully.

After Wang Jianguo finished speaking, he slowly turned around and walked towards the room with heavy steps.

His figure looked somewhat lonely under the light, as if he was carrying a heavy burden.

Walking into the room, Wang Jianguo gently closed the door and then sat down weakly on the bed. His mind was still churning, thinking about what to do next.
