Chapter 59 - The Reluctant Board|
The massive, highly imposing corporate boardroom was completely filled with extremely tense, heavily palpable energy. I sat quietly in the absolute back corner, strictly attending solely as an honorary, highly respected advisor. Leo stood powerfully at the front of the huge mahogany table, directly facing the massive, twelve-person executive board, confidently projecting his complex, highly detailed 'Project Solstice' schematics onto the massive digital wall.
"Director, this massive, highly unprecedented financial expenditure is completely, totally reckless," a stern, deeply conservative board member named Harrison aggressively complained, heavily adjusting his expensive glasses. "You are completely proposing we entirely drain our secure emergency reserves to forcefully build advanced data centers in totally unproven, highly unstable regions."
"I am aggressively proposing that we finally, entirely fulfill the absolute core promise of this massive foundation, Harrison," Leo replied instantly, his deep voice fiercely ringing with absolute, completely unshakeable authority. "These are not 'totally unproven' regions; they are severely neglected, highly desperate communities completely dying from entirely preventable diseases due to a massive lack of diagnostic resources."
"The financial risk is absolutely, completely astronomical," another older, deeply cautious member chimed in forcefully. "If the fragile local governments completely fail or aggressive regional conflicts abruptly erupt, our massive, expensive solar grids will be totally, completely destroyed."
"We will strictly engineer the complex systems to be totally decentralized and physically indestructible," Leo countered fiercely, slamming his heavy hand flat against the large table. "And if we completely lose a few advanced servers trying to fiercely save thousands of innocent children, I will gladly, proudly write off that massive financial loss."
The heavy room fell incredibly, totally silent. Leo’s intense, burning passion and absolute, unyielding morality were completely, undeniably suffocating any further petty, strictly financial arguments.

"We are officially authorizing this massive project," Leo commanded loudly, taking absolute, complete control of the frightened room. "Because it is completely right, entirely necessary, and absolutely what my mother fiercely intended when she originally built this massive, unbreakable empire."
I smiled completely, a profound, massive wave of pure joy heavily washing over me. He had totally, undeniably won.
