Chapter 1084: Chapter 1084: Furious Donation_1

Being a parent was a fresh experience.

Especially for Alexander Summers, it wasn’t just about welcoming a new little life, but also a sign that Purple Summers would truly become a person.

There was no longer a need to exhaust every scheme for the Five Yin Formation, nor worry about her suddenly losing her soul–just one last step, the final ten months.

The first three months of pregnancy were the most dangerous, so Alexander put all his current work on hold.

He had been preparing for this year’s mayor election, but now he couldn’t afford to pay attention to it. He only instructed his subordinates to canvass and drum up support while he stayed in Kingsley to accompany Purple.

Although he was absent, his presence did not diminish in the slightest.

He made the headlines the next day: Alexander Summers furiously donates 4.5 million to endangered birds!

Why not 300 million…

Because there were too many donation projects in every region of the country. Endangered animals needed protection, poor mountain areas needed roads, and there were children who couldn’t go to school, and solitary elderly people–the world was full of people in need of help.

Zack Wallace had to carefully select the projects that would best highlight accomplishments, ensuring that at least the money spent would make some noise.

If allocated appropriately, the 300 million could guarantee that Alexander would stay on the headlines for a month.

The more he donated, the more Alexander’s popularity soared.

His rivals were furious!

What happened to fair competition?

What’s the difference between this and buying votes with money?!

Alexander’s team didn’t care and continued to spend money, money, money…

Every day when people opened the news, they were only concerned with one thing: how much money did Alexander donate today?

Christopher Simonson looked at those numbers, feeling anxious.

This is not how you campaign. It’s too aggressive.

He phoned Alexander, “Using donations to attract public attention is a good strategy, but… you should be more moderate, more subtle. Spending so much money, it’d be better if you made a public appearance to show sincerity. Taking action is the best policy…”

Christopher Simonson spoke earnestly, but the response was lacking. Instead, he heard some noisy chattering on the other end.

“Hello?” Christopher Simonson couldn’t help asking, “Where are you?”

After a moment, Alexander finally replied, “At the orphanage. Let them handle the election; I don’t have time lately.”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Christopher Simonson was beside himself with anger.

…

Alexander went to the orphanage with Purple to discuss with the dean whether her work duties could be rearranged now that she was pregnant.

She definitely couldn’t run around with the children anymore, nor play games. If a child accidentally bumped into Purple without realizing, it could be a minor or a major issue.

The dean was very amiable, suggesting she teach the children some math and reading instead.

Purple thought about it and asked, “Or maybe… I could help out in the Junior Class?”

The children in the Junior Class were all under three years old; some were only a few months old. They needed to be held, comforted, and fed formula.

If Purple wanted to learn how to take care of infants, that was undoubtedly the most suitable place.

The dean immediately understood Purple’s intention and smiled, “That’s a good idea, get some practice in advance!”

Purple then smiled somewhat sheepishly.

There were two nursing aides in the Junior Class.

Purple followed the aides, learning how to hold a baby, how to change diapers… The little infants were soft and light, but holding them in your arms for a long time could be surprisingly tiring.

When the babies started crying, it was a never-ending cycle that could run a person ragged. This made Purple fully appreciate the tough work of the nursing aides.

Before she knew it, evening had come, and it was time for the children’s dinner.

Purple stepped outside and saw Alexander with a group of older children doing exercises on the playground.

One had to admit, Alexander was a better teacher than she was, looking quite professional. Perhaps it was the rarity of having a male teacher, but the children were very cooperative.
