Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime - Chapter 1029

Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029: Planning the Campaign_1 Chapter 1029: Chapter 1029: Planning the Campaign_1 The show was recorded for two hours and eventually edited into a 35-minute talk show.

On the surface, they talked about how he pretended to be a bodyguard to pursue Purple Summers and how they fell in love with each other.

Behind the scenes, it was about maintaining Purple Summers’ image, helping her gain public favor.

For instance, he said that as a bodyguard, he would deliver late-night snacks to Purple Summers because she always stayed up late studying.

For example, saying Purple Summers worried that innocent parties might be sentenced, and under the pressure before the court session, she would lock herself in her room, allowing only Alexander Summers to enter.

Such small details showed off their affection while hinting that Purple Summers was a diligent, hardworking child with a strong sense of justice.

The host also brought up negative news about Summers Group.

Alexander Summers frankly admitted, “Before I took over Summers Group, there indeed were various problems within the group. We are finding ways to solve them, and so far, we have achieved some significant results.”

In one sentence, he cleanly disassociated himself.

— All mistakes were made before he took over; they had nothing to do with him, and he had been trying to correct them since.

How shameless.

“So, Mr. Summers, do you have any plans or hopes for the future?” the host asked.

“I’m preparing to try running for mayor in the next Pearlpoint City mayor election,” Alexander replied.

The host was surprised, “Is this a long-term plan, or a sudden thought?”

“It’s not been that long, but indeed there was some time,” Alexander said, “I should be the person who understands Pearlpoint City’s economic situation the most. With the city’s rapid development over the years, I’ve been eager to do something for it.”

The host hesitated, “But as far as I know, Summers Group seems to be facing multiple accusations at the moment. Won’t this affect your participation in the election…”
“I believe that’s exactly my advantage,” Alexander spoke confidently, “I understand this city and its sins. Therefore, I know how to eradicate them better than anyone else. Mr. Christopher Simonson has given me a lot of advice, which has been extremely beneficial. I have the confidence to make Pearlpoint City even better.”

The host finally understood, “So, Mr. President is also supporting your candidacy.”

Alexander nodded, “Of course.”

When this part of the show aired, Christopher Simonson got so angry that he stood up from the sofa.

“When did I ever support him?!” Christopher Simonson was furious.

So shameless!

Caitlin Carter stared at her husband in astonishment, not understanding why he was reacting so strongly.

“Maybe it was just for the show?” Caitlin suggested, “Not everything said on a show is true.”

“You don’t understand!” Christopher Simonson was unable to calm down, “The mayor of Pearlpoint City is still in office! If this gets out, others will think I want to unseat the current mayor. They are doing a good job, how will they feel now?”

Caitlin muttered, “But… wouldn’t it be good if Alexander became mayor? Before, you always complained that he was unorthodox…”
Christopher Simonson: “…”

…
Huh…
It seemed to make sense…
Christopher Simonson rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

Maybe this could work… If Alexander became mayor and seriously committed to the work, it would be harmless and possibly beneficial to Purple Summers, no longer tarnishing her reputation.

“Summon the secretary-general,” Christopher Simonson ordered.

Caitlin was puzzled, “What for? It’s so late already.”

“Ah! We need to study how to handle the mayoral election specifically,” Christopher Simonson said irritably.

Alexander’s men were a bunch of thugs and ruffians; what did they know about elections? In the end, it would still depend on him to send a team of strategists over to help!

…
Late at night, after watching the same show, Alexander Summers made a phone call to Gavin Graves.

“I suspect my amnesia hasn’t completely healed,” Alexander said, “Otherwise, how could I not remember you being such a petty guy?”
