Chapter 434:
The emcee announced, “Ladies and gentlemen, we’re thrilled to share that Mr. Perez has been engaged in extensive discussions with our senior management. He is joining us as our honorary chief appraiser. Please join me in welcoming him with a hearty round of applause p>
The crowd’s response was immediate and vibrant. Even Dewey, who had been confident up until then, suddenly turned ashen.
Those familiar with Jeff knew he had always worked independently and had never committed to any single company. His association with this new firm was a surprise to all. It seemed there was more to this company than met the eye!
Quickly, all those who had been gathered around Dewey left him and rejoined the recruitment queue.
“Wow, these people really know how to keep a secret. They landed Jeff and didn’t even make a big deal about it! Had I known, I wouldn’t have stayed there p>
“Right? Working alongside Jeff could be a game-changer. Think of all we could learn from him! Even if we didn’t, just being able to say we’ve worked with Jeff would be incredible p>
“Exactly! Sure, Sup Group is well-known, but its leaders are set in their ways. Joining them might not offer much room for advancement. Trying our luck with this newcomer might be the smarter move p>
Such remarks filled the venue, and what had initially seemed like a faltering event quickly regained its momentum with Jeff’s presence.
As the chatter swirled around him, Jeff finally understood why Ashton had asked him to come.
He turned to Dewey with a frown and said, “So you’re with Sup Group? You showed up today to poach candidates from our event. Don’t you think that’s crossing a line p>
As soon as Jeff voiced his concerns, the atmosphere among the crowd shifted dramatically.

One of the attendees yelled, “Sup Group’s minions, why don’t you just leave? How dare you offend Jeff? Do you no longer care about your antique dealings p>
Dewey hadn’t anticipated that Jeff would show up to support the opposition.
Initially, Dewey had planned to stand his ground, but Jeff’s esteemed reputation made him hesitate. Challenging Jeff could disastrously tarnish Sup Group’s standing within Staville’s antique and artifact markets. Unable to risk such consequences, Dewey was forced to leave in humiliation.
With the departure of Sup Group’s representatives, Skyline Group’s management sighed in relief and eagerly welcomed Jeff to discuss things further inside.
Although Jeff hadn’t seen Ashton yet and was unaware of his whereabouts, he assumed Ashton was preoccupied and wanted him to lend a hand. Pleased, Jeff accepted the invitation to stay and even volunteered to act as an interviewer for the day. For Skyline Group’s management, Jeff’s involvement was a significant advantage they couldn’t pass up.
Shortly after Jeff came aboard, the recruitment event officially kicked off.
Jeff’s participation excited the attendees, attracting even more onlookers who quickly formed a long line throughout the fair.
