Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 543

Chapter 543 Andrew maintained his composure and said , I wouldnt call it singing my own praises , but if theres merit , then rewards must follow .

Troys leak of the formula , and the Weller familys previous schemes against Rhodes Pharmaceutical if I may say so , I contributed significantly to resolving those issues .

Pausing briefly , Andrew dropped a bombshell , I dont dare ask for much , but Madam , why not make me the CEO of Rhodes Corporation ? The moment those words left his mouth , it wasnt just Michael and his loyal supporters who were stunned- Lauren herself was left speechless .

Andrew wanted to be the CEO of the corporation ? Wasnt that an ambition far too bold ? Michaels face twisted in fury .

Andrew , you really have no shame , do you ? CEO of Rhodes Corporation ? Why not go all the way and just rename the company to Lloyd Corporation while youre at it ? Andrew replied earnestly , Mr.

Rhodes , while that idea is brilliant , it doesnt align with ethical principles .

So Im afraid I must decline your suggestion .

Michael was so furious he almost coughed up blood on the spot .

His remark had been sarcastic , rhetorical a figure of speech .

But Andrew took it literally ? How thick skinned could one man be ? If nothing else , Mr.

Lloyds shamelessness is truly unparalleled .

I bow before his audacity .

Theres an old saying : Clear waters have no fish , and the shameless has no equal .

Mr.

Lloyds art of shamelessness surpasses even that of the legendary poet ! Andrew , do you even hear yourself ? Asking to be CEO of Rhodes Corporation ? Do you think thats even remotely possible ? No matter how you rank it , itll never be your turn ! Executives and veteran employees chimed in with sneers and laughter , mocking Andrews seemingly outlandish request .

The idea of Andrew becoming CEO ? It would only happen if the sun rose in the west .

Tianas voice was icy as she spoke , So this is Marvins pawn .

I see the game is unraveling faster than I expected .

Unfortunately for you , Mr.

Lloyd , the CEO position of Rhodes Corporation is reserved strictly for family members .

So dont even think about it .

What shocked everyone was Andrews calm reaction .

Instead of anger , he smiled and said , Youre absolutely right , Mrs.

Rhodes .

The CEO position is for family members only .

So , since Im not eligible , Ms.

Rhodes is the most suitable choice .

Im just asking .

When will you reward the contributions ? And with what ? Tiana frowned .

Andrew , thats enough .

Ive already given you plenty of what you want .

Dont push your luck .

The other executives exchanged glances , some annoyed but others secretly impressed .

Andrews boldness might seem reckless , but to push Tiana his far ? That took guts maybe even a stroke of foolish luck .

Andrew shook his head and chuckled coldly .

At the end of the day , all this talk boils down to one thing : Mrs.

Rhodes is only interested in punishments , not rewards .

I see that clearly now .
