In late spring and early summer, our project is nearing completion. The date of the arrival of the acceptance team in Beijing has also been determined.

In the office, I was sorting out my papers and chatting with Jima. Suddenly, Mr. Li's little assistant ran over again, saw me and shouted:

- ""398" is too much, didn't he agree with the color of the wall paint? Today, we've all brushed half of the layer, and he just came over, as if he was saying something wrong about the color, Linna, go and see, we can't figure out what he wants to do? ”

When I heard the little assistant's complaint, I couldn't get angry! This Tony, when is it, and he still hasn't stopped? This wall paint can squeeze a few bucks, he's too much!

I came to the corridor with Mr. Li's assistant and Ji Ma, and saw Tony standing there communicating with Mr. Li in a gesture. I looked at Tony, he was still smiling, and his tone didn't sound harsh, this is really rare, I've long been used to that extremely serious Tony, which one did he get today?

I walked over and said to Tony angrily:

- "Mr. Li, didn't they ask you yesterday!" Why did the color you confirm change again today? ”

Tony saw me and Jima laugh and said:

- "I said I used this color yesterday, but today I noticed that the color on the wall is a little darker. ”

I looked at the turquoise walls and felt that there was really nothing wrong with this color being fresh and elegant.

- "Then what color do you say?" I said to Tony angrily, thinking to myself, I'm going to be on a par with you today, whatever color you say, I won't be too troublesome to accompany you to the end, anyway, I'm determined not to give you money this time.

Tony looked at us with a smile and said, "I'd like to try a few more colors to see which one looks best?" ”

Mr. Li, adjusted a few colors. Tony stood there with his chin propped up, either too blue, too green, or the depth he wasn't satisfied with.

I saw that Mr. Li and the workers were about to sweat, but Tony was still unhurried to find faults.

I looked at Tony disgruntled and said:

- "Tony, are you running out of business today?" I'm a bunch of things! Valery said that the inspection team will arrive in the next few days, if you don't let Mr. Li and them start painting the wall today, let the inspection team smell the paint when the time comes! ”

When Jima heard me say this, he turned his face away and snickered. Tony looked at me and smiled

- "Lina, then you can help me choose a color!" ”

I chose a pale cyan one from their colors, painted it to the wall, and said:

- "You're watching! It's the same color when you paint it on the wall, but you can't say anything darker or lighter. ”

Tony crossed his hands and said with a smile:

- "Linna, this color is good, then let's use this color"

I was still a little uneasy, and said to him:

- "Are you sure?" Tony, we don't have time to rework! ”

- "Hahaha...... Linna! Don't worry, just use the color of your choice," he said with a smile.

Mr. Li didn't understand what Tony meant, looked at me, and I told him that Tony would not change the color after choosing, and he could start work.

When Mr. Li heard my words, he smiled and said:

- "I'm really scared of "398", when is it, he's still looking for trouble! Thankfully, we've only brushed half of the floor, and if the thirty floors are all finished, he will say no, and I'll hang myself! ”

I looked at Tony angrily, and to my surprise, Tony was in an unusually good mood today, and I thought he must have met with something happy.

I even felt that his questioning of the color of the wall paint was a joke, and that he had no intention of profiting from the wall paint at all......

Tony, who has always been very serious, at this moment, actually started a joke with Mr. Li! I looked at Jima, who seemed to be surprised by Tony's reaction today, and he glanced at Tony and made a sneaky grimace at me.

On the way back to the office, Tony, with a happy face, asked me:

- "Linna! Have you ever been to Shanghai? ”

- "I've been, but I'm not familiar with it. ”

- "Do you say that Shanghai is more prosperous than Beijing?" Tony asked

- "Yes, it is the financial capital of China, the most modern city in China," I said.

- "They told me that if you want to experience the culture of southern China, you have to go to Shanghai, right?" ”

- "Yes, China has a long history, and the cultures of the north and south have their own characteristics, I think if you want to have a deep understanding of Chinese culture, Shanghai must be visited, where the self-heating and cultural landscape are different from Beijing." ”

At the time, I didn't think much about why Tony was talking to me about Shanghai.

However, one thing I would like to make clear is that to this day, the color of the walls of the apartment building of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade of the Russian Federation has not changed, and it is still the color I chose.

This is the best memorial to my work here!

From that point on, I owe Tony a lot of thanks!
