Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

Chapter 705 +25 BONUS Andrew remained unfazed as he continued , And one more thing true wisdom has nothing to do with age .

If youve lived all these decades and still havent figured that out , then congratulations youve basically wasted your entire life .

Next time you want to learn something , start by showing a little humility .

The elderly executive was livid .

He shot up from his chair , turning to Tiana with a furious glare , ready to demand justice .

However , the sudden surge of anger proved too much .

With a guttural groan , his face contorted , and he collapsed with a loud thud under the table .

Michael and the others gasped in shock .

Did … did Andrew just argue him into unconsciousness ? Tianas face remained stone cold .

Take him to the medical wing .

Dont let this disrupt the meeting .

11 A team of security staff quickly entered the room , lifted the unconscious executive , and carried him away .

Lauren discreetly gave Andrew a thumbs up , her eyes glimmering with amusement .

She thought , Dr.

Lloyd , youre incredible .

You sure know how to piss people off .

Andrew stretched his arms lazily .

Well , since everyone seems so eager to hear me out , Ill go ahead and share some real business insights .

Tianas patience was wearing thin .

She clenched her jaw and snapped , Mr.

Lloyd , let me remind you this is a boardroom meeting , not your personal talk show .

Andrew chuckled , taking a sip of water .

Apologies , Mrs.

Rhodes .

Cant help it sometimes .

When youre as articulate as I am , the ideas just keep flowing.

He set the glass down and smirked .

If being brilliant is a crime , then I plead guilty and beg to be sentenced to life without parole .

Lauren burst into laughter , nearly choking on her water .

Marcus stifled a chuckle , shaking his head .

Andrews audacity never ceased to amaze him .

Tiana , on the other hand , was not amused .

Her voice dropped to a warning tone .

Andrew , if you want to clown around , do it outside .

This is your last warning .

Michaels fists clenched under the table .

The meeting had turned into Andrews one man show , and he was losing his grip on the narrative .

Andrews gaze shifted to him .

Michael , sit back and let me teach you what real business strategy looks like .

He explained , Look at PinterBuy a discount marketplace that took over the market by focusing on massive inventory and rock bottom prices .

People share referral links just to knock a few dollars off a blender .

Or look at Crystal Springs .

A company that sells bottled water .

Thats it .

And they turned that into a billion dollar empire .

Water ! Something you can literally get for free from the tap .

Both of these examples crush your luxury only strategy .

And you know why ? Because smart businesses dont limit themselves to rich customers .

Real success comes when you create products everyone is willing to pay for rich or poor .

Thats how you build an empire .

Lauren and Marcus both applauded without hesitation .

Tiana surprised everyone by joining in with two slow , deliberate claps , Well , well , Mr.

Lloyd .

I didnt expect it , but you might actually know a thing or two .

Her tone was a mix of skepticism and reluctant respect .

What a load of nonsense .

I dont care about markets , pricing , or branding .

My job is to develop effective medicine something you , Andrew , could never match .

Michael seized the moment .

Exactly ! Andrew , you can talk circles around us all you want , but this industry isnt won through speeches .

Our success will be decided by the products we develop .

And when the time comes , Ill enjoy watching you eat every arrogant word youve said .

Andrew smiled faintly .

Michael , youre not even qualified to be my rival .

If you werent riding the Rhodes family name like a free pass , youd be begging for spare change on the street right now .
