Class Reunion and Unexpected Offer
Today, at a class reunion, after drinking for three rounds, a classmate who I hadn’t seen for a long time asked me what I was doing. I said moving bricks at a construction site, and he said he wanted me to buy a motorcycle and run errands. I could earn 8,000 a month and it was an easy job. It's more respectable and better than a construction site. I said I had no money and he asked me how much a motorcycle would be worth. He bought it for me. I said no, lend me ten thousand and try to start a small business. Then he was silent for a while. Yes, there are risks in setting up a street stall, but there is no risk in running errands. If you don’t borrow money to run a street stall, you can borrow money to run errands.For a moment, I really wanted him to buy a motorcycle to try it out, but when I think about it, it’s not necessary. I don’t have a deep relationship with him, so I made him feel unhappy by forcing me to buy it, but the favor was in vain. More importantly, I don't need it, so why waste each other's time and energy, but if he wants to lend me 10,000 yuan, I will really lend it to him. For the sake of my classmates, I will give him a favor opportunity. If you ask me to borrow money, and it is within my ability, I may consider not letting him pay it back.I wonder if I should call each one every now and then to borrow money to reaffirm my attitude towards them in the future.Between people, apart from parents, other family ties and friendships must be exchanged at equal value. This is not because I am snobbish, but this is the reality.Now, in this world, for me, there is no friend that I must make, and there is no family relationship that I must leave.
