Chapter 695:
This led Ashton to suspect there might be some underhanded dealings at play.
However, with no concrete evidence, he decided to keep this suspicion to himself for the time being. He had no intention of using it as his starting point.
After making the necessary preparations, Ashton organized a grand press conference, asking Abrial to serve as the representative. Soon, the event attracted considerable attention and discussion.
Ashton’s strategic buildup around the press conference had paid off.
“Have you heard the latest news? Skyline Group’s branch, which has been performing well recently, seems to be aiming to enter Staville’s food market. And they have quite the…”
“Ambition, claiming they want to become the best catering brand and the largest food supplier in Staville.”
“Yes, I’ve heard about it too. But I’m not interested in investing in it. Staville’s catering industry is already saturated. The Crawford family takes a significant portion of the limited market share, and other businesses and individuals share the rest. The competition is fierce, and capturing market share in such an environment seems nearly impossible.”
“But from what I’ve heard, they seem to want to take the Crawford family’s market share.”
“Then, that’s even more unlikely. Everyone knows the Crawford family’s background. Even if they encounter trouble, the Miller family and the Nash family will step in to help them. This powerful and solid alliance is virtually indestructible.”
“Yes, that seems to be the case. Actually, I was considering investing some money in Skyline Group’s branch, hoping for some benefits. But it seems unnecessary now.”
Conversations like these were happening all over Staville— in coffee shops, boardrooms, and even in the living rooms of every family.

Everyone was not optimistic about Skyline Group’s decision. Staville’s market had long been dominated by established local enterprises, each with deep roots and loyal clientele. The idea that a small outsider company could come in and disrupt such a well-established system seemed impossible.
Soon, the popularity of this news was overshadowed by another.
Two days after the press conference, Staville’s Culture and Tourism Bureau suddenly released an announcement.
“The peak season for tourists is coming soon. It is the best opportunity to promote our city to the world. To highlight Staville’s unique cultural heritage and natural scenery to visitors from all over the world, we will be holding the first-ever Staville Culinary Competition. The theme will be Staville’s local specialties and snacks. The winner will receive a cash prize of one hundred thousand dollars and a prominent ad space from the Culture and Tourism Bureau. We encourage all hotels and restaurants in Staville to actively participate in this competition.”
While Skyline Group’s entry into Staville’s catering market initially sparked interest, it was soon overshadowed by a much bigger announcement from the Culture and Tourism Bureau. This unexpected news captured widespread attention, drawing people from various industries due to the promising opportunities it presented.
The announcement was especially exciting for Staville’s catering industry. Being officially endorsed by the government was a rare and valuable chance for recognition, making it highly appealing.
