The Winner

When Lyan Oo Nway woke up, he was left alone. The cold spot beside him depicted the coldness of its owner. The fact that his whole body ached and the pain in his lower part proved how intimate he had been with Maw Oo Yan last night.

He pressed his tight chest and got up from the bed. Without considering any further, he decided to stay where he was and satisfied with his current position.

The current moment in which Maw Oo Yan finds himself influences his career choice. He called a meeting to contrast his months-long preparation with another person's project. Few people will stand by his side, and it was Mary's father who entrusted the project. He undoubtedly needs his assistance.

This was the first time for him that he had to observe the public's opinions but he did not find it bothersome. He has the impression that only challenges can make him come to life. The repeated victories had already gotten monotonous to him.

"I heard that you will do this project with amateurs. Are you certain that you can guarantee this will succeed?"

One of the shareholders inquired in doubt and he prepared to give an explanation.

"For the project, I've hired two joint engineers. First up is Min Say, a senior engineer at my business. After earning his degree in Germany, he participated as a joint engineer in the building of the LaTaio Center there. It is also widely known that he personally designed the center's layout. He is precise and meticulous. This time, I trusted him with the resort's design, and in a short amount of time, I received an excellent structure from him."

Whether or not his project was chosen or rejected doesn't matter to Maw Oo. He is completely confident, of course. The idea of him presenting his project calmly and without even a hint of surprise makes it seem less like he is competing and more like he is presenting a project that has already been selected. It's true that it gives the rival a little fright. More than any of the rumors, he boasts and exudes charisma. The claim that Maw Soe's sole heir is the best among second generation masters is truly the case.

"The second engineer is Dpar Oo."

Maw Oo Yan smiled proudly and lowered his eyebrows without saying anything else. He could hear the whispers of all the adults below. This was his secret weapon. He was the youngest genius and also a well-liked engineer among entrepreneurs.

Despite his youth, he has a wealth of experience. He worked for three years in Australia after being awarded a scholarship, returned home to work for a business that was not well-known among the entrepreneurs who offered it, and continued to have success. They pursued him after he quit his job, but Maw Oo was ultimately successful in seizing the talent.

Apart from his talent, he is difficult to communicate with. This is primarily due to his quick temper. Nevertheless, Maw Oo's secret weapon was crucial. Even his detractors wanted to change their minds in order to advance their own interests.

"I won't say anything more about him. If you want to be a successful construction entrepreneur, I believe you should know him. So would you kindly permit me to invite two joint engineers to describe my project in greater detail?

He introduced the two engineers before they had a chance to object due to his assured words. Unlike the tall, graceful Min Say who had a warm smile, this man had a small face and dark eyes that seemed too lazy to spare a single glance. These two opposites are brilliant and of the same age.

Their professionalism also reveals how proud they are. like he mentioned, Maw Oo Yan prioritized only young people.

Maw Oo Yan's group won the entire meeting, but when they cast their votes, the outcome was the same. U Maw Soe and Mr. Richard, Mary's father, were the last two people to vote.

I must admit that today's outcome was unexpected. I really enjoy a certain group. As for you, Maw Soe, I've started to feel envious. Looking at it, I believe Maw enterprise will be able to hold onto its title of richest company for more than 60 years. Or I believe it'll succeed even more than in your hands.

Mr. Maw Soe had a proud smile on his face when Mr. Richard spoke to him while leaning back in his chair.

"I've envisioned visible success, and I would like to cast my vote entirely in favor of Maw Oo's team. How about you?"

Mr. Richard like a businessman called out Mr. Maw Soe. Then Mr. Maw Soe chuckled and said.

"Even my client has casted the vote so there's nothing to oppose from my side too. My vote is not given to my son, Maw Oo Yan. But it's rather for the diligent manager Maw Oo Yan."

Maw Oo Yan won both votes, which were more significant than the other votes because Mr. Maw Soe's side supported him too. He extended an invitation to the two engineers to attend a welcoming ceremony after the meeting.

"For what? It's a lot of trouble to attend parties. I don't want to go."

Maw Oo Yan was accustomed to hearing Dpar Oo's attitude. So he just smiled and said.

"The path we are going to take needs a lot of support. So you just need to come and show your face for a while."

Despite the fact that Maw Oo Yan appeared to be an adult due to his height and size, he was actually much younger than them. Even though he was only 19 years old, those two were well past their 30s.

"You just don't want to come alone, right? I'll come pick you up."

Min Say offered Dpar Oo a drive and the latter chuckled.

"Why can't I? I have my reasons. Don't stick your nose into my business."

"You."

Maw Oo Yan looked at how the two of them were debating and shook his head and laughed. From the beginning, there is irony with each other, but when the two come together, the pride that emerges is so harmonious that it surprises the spectators. Therefore, no matter how childishly the two of them fight, Maw Oo is not worried.

"Then, see you that day. I look forward to seeing Dpar Oo."

"Don't look forward to it."

Maw Oo pretended not to hear it. He waved his hand and left the two in the room.

"It's lucky that he's younger than me. If he was older than me, he would traffick me."

Min Say shrugged his shoulders and was surprised to see a young man like Maw Oo persuade Dpar Oo. He couldn't also refuse Maw Oo when he offered them to work together.

"You should reduce anger a little, if you continue like that you will not grow tall even if it was in your next life.

"It's none of your business"

"I do think so"

Dpar Oo looked at him seriously without telling anything and left. Minn Say sighed as he thought about collaboration with Dpar Oo again. They really liked to argue with each other.

"Maw Oo Yan"

After welcoming Mr. Richard, he shook hands with him.

"Mr. Richad, thank you for your voting to me in the meeting"

"This is because you deserve it. As my daughter said, ``You are talented."

"Thank you"

Mr. Richard had the vision of a businessman. Maw Oo's marriage was not a coincidence. The whole world knew that he was not agreeable. Richard was not a bad observer. After seeing what this great man could do, he realized why his daughter was so into him. He had always intended to collaborate deeply with Maw's family, but failed.

He had never encouraged his daughter to become a second mistress, but when he inquired about Maw Oo Yan, he found out that he had only married a very ordinary boy, and the marriage was unwilling by him.

How can a man stay with a man for a long time without loving him? If he were in Mr. Maw Soe's place, he would not have agreed to marry off his precious son to the man he just met.

"I wanna ask you to accompany my daughter to the dinner party this Friday. If you don't have a partner to attend the event yet, would it be okay?"

Maw Oo nodded with a smile on his face. People already knew that he was married, so there was no harm in going to the party with her, and he thought that it would improve his relationship with Mr. Richard even more. And it was Mary who helped him to become like this from behind, so he wanted Mary to show up.

"Okay, I'll come and pick her up. I have to rely on you to reply to her back."

The first step was a little difficult for him, but it turned out for the best. There were some who would have spared him and Mary not get married, but they could not help it. Now he is married and his legal spouse is Lyan Oo Nway. Only people close to him and Lyan Oo Nway knew about their marriage. Some people might see the figure of Lyan Oo Nway in some photos but not clearly. Sometimes people would say in jealousy that the ordinary boy possessed the flower from the highest tree. But that was not a good compliment at all.

After a moment, Mr. Maw Soe sent someone to call him. He wanted to see his own son, Lyan Lyan, when he reached their place.

"So… Will you bring Lyan Lyan to the event that day?"

Mr. Maw Soe asked him while holding a cup of coffee. Both of them know that Lyan Oo Nway was not related to that kind of event.

"Mr. Richard told me to accompany his daughter"

Mr. Mao Soe did not get angry when he heard that. This was normal in their community. The more famous the partner, the more attention they got.

"Alright. You should take it as a chance and it's time to step what's next"

"I understood"

Mr. Maw Soe nodded and drank the coffee. The relationship between them was just like co-workers, only at the level of asking and calling when they had to. But Maw Oo Yan was still the pride of Mr. Maw Soe. So Mr. Maw Soe felt a little sadness in his heart. Because he intended to fulfill the wishes of his son Lyan Oo Nway once and for all, the Maw Oo's path, where everything should be smooth, was blocked by his decision.

"I'll bring Lyan Lyan for a while. I'll send him back evening"

"Just do as you like"

"I think I should ask you for permission, After all, he is already your husband"

Mr. Maw Soe's words made him disgusted. He smirked by bending his lips.

"You made it on purpose by yourself. Isn't it? You let us to marry"

"Maw Oo"

"What? Isn't it? Am I good enough for your son? You don't have to act like a father when we are together. It's so distinct, right? Dad… or should I call you father-in-law?"

Mr. Maw Soe didn't give a reply. He just looked at Maw Oo who talked to him with humiliation.

"Then, excuse me. I will take your position as soon as possible. So please bear with it for a while until I get to it."

After saying that, Maw Oo left the place. He would not be a good father if he let Lyan Oo Nway, his own son, to pay for his debt as he owed Maw Oo Yan for not being responsible as a father. He would never introduce Lyan Oo as his son. Even if he wanted to do that, it wouldn't happen. Even if he had to choose between the two sons, he had to choose Maw Oo Yan. The one who was in the wrong from the start was him indeed.
