Mediterranean hegemon

People are different. People like Poti have one character; Oliver has another character - his family is also considered middle-class and they don't care about salary, but they must let him see a future; but Verratti It's completely different. He was born in a poor family and has younger siblings. Both he and his family are under pressure to survive. At the same time, he has a strong self-esteem because of the concepts he formed since he was a child. In his opinion, he may be tempted to accept Conte. The salary given by Ni was regarded as a kind of charity.

Contini realized that he had neglected to consider this aspect. If Oliver hadn't told him, he might not have known about it yet. He quickly said: "Okay, I'll talk to him. In fact, I have already thought of his way out, but it's just It’s just that I haven’t had time to say it yet.”

"That's good, that's good!"

In line with the principle that problems should never be solved overnight, Contini immediately went out and made a phone call. He first communicated with the old Ciano, then found Verratti and asked him directly: "I heard that you are looking for a job?"

Verratti was hesitant at first, but finally told the truth: "I actually have no objection to the newspaper. On the contrary, I really hope to stay and work in the newspaper. But at present, everyone in the newspaper is voluntary labor, and I cannot make an exception to receive salary. This will upset the balance." , even if you secretly give it to me, I will feel very uncomfortable..."

"Actually, I intend to formalize the newspaper office so that everyone can treat it as a normal job after graduation."

"Calais, don't do this for now. Everyone knows that you are actually paying to support the newspaper now. Everyone feels more balanced about voluntary labor. If we continue to pay wages, we will all be ashamed." Verratti thought for a while, " At least once the operation of the newspaper is really on track and we founders have left the newspaper, you can take drastic measures. I don’t think it will take long, just one year or two at most.”

"I understand how you feel, so I won't force you." Contini said in a sincere tone, "That's it. I think there is a job that suits you very well. I wonder if you are willing to give in?"

"Okay, tell me." [Readers who have not seen the relevant content after "Iron Cross" 404 can follow the Weixin public account "Moon Shadow Wutong" to get the follow-up plot]

"My father now has a secretary, but this secretary is better at external communication and handling administrative affairs, and is weaker at writing work. If you agree, I would like to recommend you to the Minister of Transportation as a secretary. Of course, you must first graduate successfully. Although the government is now meritocratic, having a diploma and not having a diploma are two different things.”

"willing!"

Verratti agreed without hesitation: Are you kidding me? You can become a secretary to a cabinet minister. Why don't you want to? Moreover, this minister is also the father of his classmate, so there is no need to say what his future will be like.

"That's good. In order to help you understand the connotation of work faster, I want to take you to have a chat with my father after the New Year to see if you can find some information to get familiar with it first, and then do some work by the way, but you have to work harder. I have to be busy with my graduation thesis, newspaper work, and possibly the Ministry of Transportation.”

"I have no problem, I will do my best!" Verratti's face was full of gratitude, "Calais, thank you!"

"We are all classmates, how can we be polite? You have helped me a lot in the newspaper office and the league, and I haven't even had time to thank you." Contini said, "Actually, I expected Poti to be unreliable. , the reason for this arrangement is, firstly, to see how strong Poti's sense of responsibility is, and secondly, to see whether the newspaper can operate normally under such circumstances. The result makes me very happy, although Poti is a bit unreliable. , but the job was still done. You, Leo and others supported the work, which shows that everyone really treats the newspaper as their own business and runs it with their own efforts. I feel very good and very happy! "

This is what Contini said sincerely. He is not a superman, nor does he have three heads and six arms. If he cannot activate his lower body, he will not be able to withstand it no matter how capable he is. Delegating power to the newspaper this time was his deliberate strategy, and now it seems that it has achieved the goal perfectly. These alliance members and newspaper backbones can still pick up the pieces at critical moments, even the most unreliable Poti, external liaison and government Transaction processing is also very good. Everyone has strengths, the key is to use them in the right place.

"Sorry, I couldn't stay to help you."

"It doesn't matter. Staying with my father is also helping me. I need you to take more care of me when I deal with the Ministry of Transportation in the future. I can't bother my father all the time."

After Verratti's worries were resolved, the party officially started. Boji guest hosted and performed again, creating a very good atmosphere for the party. Especially after taking out the Christmas gifts, everyone was in an uproar, "Wow!"

Poti enjoyed this moment of glory so much that he had long forgotten all about the 100,000 lire - money is for a bastard, if you lose it, you can make it again. Besides, with Contini as a money-making machine, he didn't worry at all. .

Of course, Contini also said that, but because he was in a hurry, he couldn't give out the gifts, and he didn't want to overshadow Bo Ji. So he gave each of the 40 or so people present a red envelope of 2,000 lire, which is almost 100,000 lire. went out - now everyone is convinced that the president really went abroad and made a lot of money! But no one knew that the president had made so much money, almost a battleship!

In the end, everyone was drunk. Contini stood up with a glass of wine and laughed: "Are you satisfied with Poti's performance today?"

"satisfy!"

"Can he be forgiven for his dereliction of duty some time ago?"

"Can!"

"sure!"

"It's okay, it's not a big deal in the first place!"

"To express our gratitude, all the boys here would like to propose a toast to Poti. As for the girls..." Contini smiled slightly, glanced at the seven or eight girls, and said with a blush, "Nominate a representative and kiss Poti to express his gratitude. Thank you. If you are really satisfied, you can go up together! ”

With a "boom", everyone present laughed, clapped their hands, stamped their feet, whistled, and in general were full of joy.

Poti looked from one place to another on the stage, full of expectation and full of embarrassment - he usually teased these girls, and it would be ugly if he didn't give face, but he couldn't refuse, Contini This is setting the stage for him.

Several girls pushed me and I pushed you. Finally, they just got angry and all of them rushed forward, surrounding Poti. The young man who usually participated in the entertainment scene was stunned and didn't know what to do. A female classmate couldn't help but talk, kissing Poti's body with her hands, kissing her neck, and using seven or eight mouths. It has to be said that Italian girls are quite open-minded. The girls who came to college in the 1920s had some family backgrounds, at least they were middle class. Such occasions could be settled with a drink and a lot of coaxing.

"It seems that everyone is extremely satisfied with Poti's gifts and arrangements..." Contini laughed and said to Poti, "It is the hardest to accept the kindness of a beauty. Since everyone is so satisfied with you, it will be the New Year in a few days. The party will not be held, but as usual the gifts must be..."

"Ha!" Everyone cheered.

Poti's blood seemed to be out of control, and he couldn't help but feel a heartache. But when he thought about the more than 900,000 yuan in his bank account, he couldn't help but become more courageous: If you don't have money, there is nothing to worry about. When the time comes, I hope Contini will continue to make money. Wouldn’t that be great? Although he is careless at times, he is not confused. Contini is doing this to help him change his impression. It turns out that everyone is very unfavorable to Poti's classmate who interfered. In the past two months, they have at least accepted him. He is a fellow traveler.

That’s right!
