After Ronald, all the guests in the room started to donate. One by one, they came up to the stage and donated cash. Some used bank cards like Mayor Quentin, the head of the Montana family, and the head of the Wosh family.The gala instantly became lively.The amount of money raised also skyrocketed!Sean was a little surprised.It was because he had raised hundreds of millions of dollars.He had thought it would be impossible to raise so much money, only tens of millions of dollars at most.However, after the series of events tonight, Mayor Quentin's attitude, and the help from Benedict and Monica, the fundraising gala had been doing surprisingly well!After half an hour, the donations finally came to an end.The total donations had passed the 200 million mark!More than 100 guests present had donated no less than one million dollars. Most donated three or four million dollars like Benedict and Monica, or two or three million dollars, or as few as over a million dollars.With
Everyone looked at Sean.Everyone in the room wanted to know how Sean would react.Would he fly into a rage and order Elijah thrown out?He would probably do that. After all, what Elijah did was offensive. It would be strange if he did not do that.However, to everyone's surprise, Sean's expression did not change, and he remained calm."Note it down that the patriarch of the Walker family, Elijah, donated 100 dollars on behalf of his family."The city defense soldier nearby was furious. The eyes looking at Elijah looked like they would bore holes in him.However, he recorded how much Elijah had donated after hearing Sean's orders.Elijah got off stage triumphantly.He took great pride in embarrassing Sean in public.Sean looked around the gala venue and asked, "Is anyone else donating?"Sean looked like he was asking everyone, but he was actually asking Cole and Dylan, who stood with Elijah.It was because they were the only guests who had not donated.Cole chuckled, strod
Ten million Dragon Dollars!It was double the five million Dragon Dollars that Quentin donated!"I'm donating ten million Dragon Dollars to help improve the lives of the poor in the slum. It's also to show you that this donation is purely to address the slum's issues. It's not me trying to make money out of this. With my ten million, the total amount we've raised is... 274 million dollars!"274 million dollars!Hearing the figure, the guests gasped in unison!Even for the influential families and the super-rich, 274 million dollars was not a small amount!Sean continued saying, "You can look up the donation amount and details of how it will be spent. The donations and their use are completely open and transparent. If you don't believe me, you can go to the mayor's residence and check with Mayor Quentin."Hearing Sean's words, everyone present was convinced.The donations were completely open and transparent, much better than some foundations in the name of charity.If all char
The businessmen with factories or companies in the slum had worried that their businesses would suffer great losses in the slum's governance.However, they were not scared now!If the purification facilities and pollution drains were not up to standard, they could purchase the purification and sewage facilities at a minimum cost with the help of the Dorodo government.Although improving employee welfare and basic treatment would bring financial damage to their factories or companies, the Dorodo government would help them expand to generate revenue and profit. In this way, they could offset the loss caused by the increase in their employees' wages and benefits. They would make more money than ever!Even those with no businesses in the slum could get preferential treatment and enjoy some privileges in Dorodo afterward, which was equally good compensation.Ronald got the biggest gain of all!Ronald had been nothing more than a weapons dealer, buying weapons from other cities, shippi
Although other people with businesses had to shut down as per the slum's governance, they had the Dorodo government supporting and subsidizing them. Elijah, Cole, and Dylan had no compensation or subsidies for their businesses!They could only suffer for nothing and endure it!Everyone realized something.They turned to look at Elijah, Cole, and Dylan.These three were smug and arrogant, making fun of Sean by donating 100 dollars in front of them.Everyone thought it was strange that Sean did not lose his temper.However, everyone now realized why.It was because Sean did not need to lose his temper!Elijah, Cole, and Dylan contributed only 100 dollars, far below the one-million-dollar mark, so they were ineligible for the generous compensation and subsidies!The three of them dug their own graves and brought it upon themselves!"If you have any questions about what I said about compensation and privileges for guests who donated more than one million dollars, you can ask Mayo
The guests laughed harder as Elijah, Cole, and Dylan slunk away.They knew that the Walker family, the Stewart family, and the Lambert family's reputation would plummet in Dorodo and never be the same again.Besides, the Walker family, the Stewart family, and the Lambert family openly went against the commander-in-chief of the city defense army, Sean, who also represented the Dorodo government. By doing so, the Walker family, the Stewart family, and the Lambert family were close to going against the Dorodo government.They were now going to suffer!The Walker family, the Stewart family, and the Lambert family would lose their status in Dorodo!The gala was over.Most of the guests had left, but a few remained.Ronald and Lillian stood in front of Sean, looking at him excitedly."Commander Lennon, I don't know what to say. I, Ronald Townsend, will never forget how you helped the Townsend family!"Ronald said heavily, his voice shaking with excitement.Lillian also nodded and s
Second People's Hospital was open to the public and served all ordinary people with relatively low charges.However, the slum residents could not even afford treatment at Second People's Hospital. Besides, First People's Hospital and Second People's Hospital were too far from the slum.Furthermore, Dorodo was not a small city but a large city under Dragon Kingdom's jurisdiction. It made no sense that such a large city only had two government hospitals.Therefore, Sean planned to build Dorodo Third People's Hospital in the slum, which would mainly serve the poor in the slum."Yes, that's right. Mayor Lewis and I talked about it. We plan to build a Third People's Hospital in the slum. It will mainly cater to people living in the slum in the west. I know what you're thinking. Don't worry. Third People's Hospital is independent and has no direct relationship with First People's Hospital and Second People's Hospital, but it can cooperate with the Wosh family in purchasing medicine.""T
Sean went up to Quentin and thanked him.After all, the fundraising gala worked so well tonight, and it was mainly because Quentin took the lead in donating and encouraging the guests.The fundraising gala would never have raised this much money without him."Mayor Lewis, it's a good thing that you're here tonight, or I couldn't have handled it on my own."Sean said with a smile.Quentin nodded and said, "It's okay. It's okay. It's what I'm supposed to do. The slum's governance should have been my problem, but I put you in charge of it now. I should be the one to thank you.""You're too kind, Mayor Lewis."The smile on Sean's face widened.Quentin did not hold him back on the slum's governance and provided great support to Sean, so he deserved Sean's gratitude.Sean did have a good impression of Quentin.The mayor was pretty good. He was not brilliant, but at least he was responsible."You've got to watch out for the Walker family, the Stewart family, and the Lambert family.
