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


    Troys leak of the form , 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 thepany 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 andughter , mocking Andrews seemingly oundish request .


    The idea of Andrew bing 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 .


    Michael immediately shouted , I object ! Andrew remained unfazed .


    Mr.


    Rhodes , please remember that your position as vice CEO is still in question .


    On what grounds are you objecting to this ? Michael roared , You- ! Tiana cut in sharply .


    Enough ! Everyone , shut up .


    The CEO position , she dered , will remain with me for now .


    There wont be any other appointments .


    Andrew shrugged .


    So , Mrs.


    Rhodes , after all this talk of merit and rewards , youre telling me theres nothing to Yeward ? Even Tianas typically calm demeanor faltered under Andrews relentless pressure .


    Irritated , she snapped , Id naturally reward those who contribute to thepany .


    But how I choose to reward them is my business , Mr.


    US 1/2  Chapter 543 Lloyd .


    You have no say in it .


    Andrew countered , Im not interfering .


    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 nces , 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 .
