Mediterranean hegemon

Chapter 19 Roman Holiday (1)

"Hello everyone, let me introduce you, this is my new friend and little sister - Ada! Ada Mussolini!"

"Brother Galle, you are naughty again, don't always call me little sister, okay? I am 13 years old this year, not a 3-year-old child!" Ada stood behind Contini, pouting in dissatisfaction, and made a face at him, causing everyone to laugh.

As soon as Mussolini's surname was reported, everyone knew who Ada was. The backbone of the Youth League knew this: Contini is not only the Minister of Youth but also the leader of the Fascist Youth, and their status has also risen. According to Contini's idea, except for a few who continue to stay in the Youth Daily, everyone else will enter the government after graduation. This is undoubtedly a straight road to success. If Contini can go one step further in the future, they can also go one step further - who doesn't want to be a minister in the future?

"It's Ada's first time in Rome. I want to accompany her to have a good time these two days, so I have to ask you to take care of all the work. Of course, I will come to the newspaper office every now and then."

"No problem, go and have fun, we won't delay the work."

After greeting everyone with Ada, Contini left the newspaper office. On the way, Ada asked carefully: "Brother Galai, will I disturb your work? I see you just said this to them, will they blame me in their hearts?"

"No!" Contini smiled, "In fact, they can complete most of the work, whether I am there or not, but I don't want to leave them with such an impression - they are working hard, but I am traveling and playing in the mountains. Water, so it is better to say hello in advance. This is a respect for others. After all, I am not their boss, and the relationship between them and me is not a simple employment relationship. We are like-minded partners who come together for the same ideal. You see, I never said this in the Rome base. There I am the president. Except for Uncle Antonio and a few managers, I don’t have to explain to others. "

Ada nodded vigorously. She had a clear understanding of Contini’s authority in the Rome base: not only did he mobilize 6 cars at once, but he also assigned her more than 20 well-trained guards as bodyguards, and there were motorcycles to lead the way. It was very cool to take her out. Not to mention government ministers, even his father Mussolini didn’t have this pomp when he traveled. This touched her very much and she felt that Brother Galle was really good to her.

What she didn't know was that Contini not only arranged bodyguards to guard around, but also called Rome Police Chief Grandini to help watch the place and not let the blind thieves provoke Ada. The latter did not dare to neglect this and immediately dispatched half of the newly formed motorcycle rapid response squadron with more than 60 people.

Of course, following Ada's motorcade directly would be gossiped, but Grandini was not a lazy man, and he quickly thought of a countermeasure: wherever Contini appeared, he would conduct surprise inspections, and then it would be natural for the rapid response squadron to rush over.

Contini did this not for show, he was afraid of something going wrong. Although the overall public security in Rome was okay, if something happened to Ada, it would be difficult to explain to Mussolini in the future. Even if it was ostentatious, it was better than something going wrong. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to go all out - it was all my own money and my own company's people, I can play however I want!

"Brother Galai, where are we going today?"

"To the radio station. Didn't you say you wanted to meet Miss Vivian and Miss Adriana? I'll take you to say hello to them."

"Oh, that's great. I've only heard their voices and never seen them in person!"

Taking Ada to meet these two people was certainly not purely to satisfy Ada's curiosity, but Contini had his own ideas. Everyone has their own selfishness, and he is no exception. Rather than taking Ada to visit, it's better to say that he wants to say hello to them, so as not to make the two women jealous.

As a result, when they arrived at the scene, the two women not only greeted them with a smile, but also tried their best to wink at Contini, making him a little confused.

Ada had no idea what the other three were talking about, and said happily: "Sister Vivian, Sister Adriana, you are really beautiful, more beautiful than I imagined from hearing your voice."

"Is it true?"

"You are not trying to please us with your slick words."

"No way..." Ada was a little nervous. In her opinion, these two were big names famous all over the country, so she had to not make them angry.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding you, we have gifts for you..." Vivian took out a necklace like a magic trick, and Adriana took out a bracelet and a brooch. At first glance, they were high-quality goods, shining with dazzling light and elegant texture.

"For me? Ah, thank you so much, I just wanted an autograph..." Ada happily stretched out her hand, suddenly tilted her head and thought for a while and stopped, then turned around and asked Contini, "Brother Galle, is it not good for me to accept a gift?"

Speaking of which, although Ada is the daughter of the Prime Minister, she has never enjoyed a day of wealth and glory, and she has not been spoiled since childhood. Therefore, she has been very obedient since the vacation, and behaves like a little sister next door. After all, her family is just a typical struggling family at the bottom. If Mussolini had not risen to the top and become the leader and prime minister, Ada's family situation would not be comparable to Vivian and Adriana, and even the children of ordinary middle-class families would not be comparable. When she saw the shiny gift, her subconscious reaction was to like it, and then she came to her senses. This gift is probably worth a lot of money, and she has to ask Contini for his opinion.

"It's okay, just accept it if they give it to you."

"Thank you, sisters."

"Do you want to watch our broadcast? I'll take you to the studio..."

"Okay, okay... Wow, it's so cool here." Ada looked around, and was quickly attracted by the air conditioner installed in the studio. This thing is still a rare commodity. In addition to the United House, only IBC and the newspaper building have it installed here.

Contini fell behind and whispered to Adriana: "What's going on? How did you know I was coming? And you prepared a gift?"

"I thought you wouldn't tell us. You're honest. You brought the person to us on the first day." Adriana said with a smile.

Contini was puzzled by this sentence and asked back: "Did you know it a long time ago?"

"Don't think you kept the news secret very well. Someone has already tipped us off. We just want to see if you are honest and perform well..." Adriana chuckled, "It seems that we didn't make a mistake. You haven't forgotten the old one even though you have a new one..."

Contini figured it out after hearing this: there are many courting suitors around the two women. Usually, the two of them disdain these people. However, when the news that he will accompany Ada comes out, these people must have known it. They will definitely run to the two of them and make a big fuss. There is only one purpose - to tell the two women that the target you are pursuing now has a better prey. You should spend less effort and accept your fate.

However, the outside world never expected that the three of them had already reached a tacit understanding and compromise, so these tricks were doomed to be futile.
