American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 250: Extreme Two Choices, Two Bars
Late at night, inside the Mar-a-Lago Club, Ivanka was pacing anxiously in the room.

The door of the room was locked from the outside, she was locked in the room and her cell phone was confiscated.

The first thing she did after get off work today was to go to the Sea-to-Lago Club, and as soon as she entered her father's room, before she could say a few words on Ryan's behalf, she was brought into this room.

She didn't know how long it had been, but when she heard shouting outside, she immediately put her ear to the door.

"Who are you!?" The guard's angry shout was heard outside the house.

Then there was dead silence.

A few seconds later, there was the sound of a door lock unlocking, and then the door was slowly pushed open. Ivanka took two steps back in fright, and what came into his sight were several strange men in black uniforms.

"This girl is so beautiful!" One of them stared at Ivanka.

The other person next to him immediately knocked the man on the head.

"This is Lao Tang's family, don't talk nonsense."

"The boss said that we should be more polite to others. Should I report this to the boss?"

"Of course..." The two muttered, and then one of them walked out, leaving the other staring at Ivanka.

Boss? Ivanka was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

After a while, the man came back and said to Ivanka with a smile: "Ms. Ivanka, the boss wants you to come over. He is with your father."

Is there really a conflict? Ivanka realized who the boss these people were talking about was.

Without saying a word, he walked out of the room and rushed into the reception room without stopping.

The moment she pushed open the door, Ivanka's eyes widened. The expected tense confrontation did not appear. Ryan was sitting with his father. There were several dishes on the table. The two of them were holding wine glasses, drinking and chatting happily.

"You're here, come and sit down!" Old Tang saw his daughter and waved to her.

Ivanka thought about it and sat next to Ryan.

"Dad, I admit that I was wrong. Don't hate Ryan. Just... treat me as dead." Ivanka lowered his head in shame.

"It's your freedom to choose whoever you like. Ryan just told me that you have greater opportunities to display your talents here. Maybe I was wrong from the beginning. I always hope that you will accept my arrangements and live according to my expectations." Old Tang also sighed.

Old Tang didn't want this matter to be exposed. After all, his daughter was involved. He couldn't use force, so he could only talk to Ryan and reason with him.

After understanding his daughter's intentions, Old Tang began to reflect.

"I won't interfere with you two anymore. You two can get married this year!" Old Tang made up his mind.

"Marriage?!" Ivanka exclaimed.

"Yes, Ryan's meaning is very clear. You are much better than that female singer. You will be a good wife, which is something that the female singer will never be able to do in her entire life." Old Tang said with a smile.

Then he looked at Ryan and said, "Among the children, I have always liked Ivanka the most. After we get married, we will be a family. Ryan, I know you are a capable person. In the next few years, I will gradually let you participate in the work of the group. In the future, you will be the successor of the family."

The core assets in Old Tang's hands are worth at least two to three billion US dollars in total.

This could be the end of Ryan's lifelong struggle, and now it looks like all it takes is a marriage contract!
"Real estate business... can Ryan do it?" Ivanka looked at Ryan, and her father's words made her more expectant.

I am not young anymore, and it would be great if I could really marry Ryan.

"Can't you learn slowly? Besides, I didn't ask Ryan to quit the music industry. I just paved the way for Ryan's future so that he doesn't have to worry." Old Tang smiled. This was an open conspiracy. If Ryan agreed, he would be willing to accept this son-in-law. If he disagreed in front of Ivanka, the two would naturally separate. No matter what Ryan chose, he would not suffer any loss.

Ryan looked at Old Don, then at Ivanka: "I'm glad that your father has favored me. Taylor is very busy at work and often I don't see her for a week. Maybe she's not suitable as a wife."

Ivanka's face lit up: "I will take care of you every day in the future, and I will ask my dad to buy the most luxurious house here."

"Do you still need to buy? Look where we are now. The Sea-to-Lago Club will belong to you and Ryan from now on!" Old Tang said generously.

The next second, Ryan changed the subject: "But I promised Taylor that I would marry her."

The smile on Ivanka's face suddenly froze.

Old Tang's expression immediately turned cold: "Daughter, you have seen what Ryan is thinking now."

Sometimes, one word is worth a thousand words.

Ivanka really considered breaking off relations with his father for Ryan, but she didn't expect to receive such an answer!

She smiled awkwardly: "Well, I wish you and Taylor happiness."

"Okay, daughter, you go back first. I still have something to clarify with Ryan." Old Tang waved his hand and let his daughter leave.

"Dad, please book a flight back to New York for me. I'll leave the day after tomorrow." Ivanka stood up resolutely and left.

As soon as he walked out, Ivanka could no longer control his emotions, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes...

Half an hour later, Ryan and his men left the Mar-a-Lago Club.

Old Tang severed all ties with Ryan, including all previous transactions. Ryan no longer needed to provide a guarantee for Old Tang, and Old Tang would no longer provide property support for the Spirit Club. As for his shares in the Spirit Club, Old Tang directly sold them to Ryan at a very low price. Perhaps in order to quickly sever ties with Ryan, Old Tang did not dwell on the matter.

"Ryan, Old Tang's daughter just came out in tears..." Beric couldn't help but say at this time, but when he noticed Ryan's gaze, he immediately chose to shut his mouth.

Ryan asked Beric to take his men out for a midnight snack, and he went straight home.

After returning, he called Teresa directly and asked her to take over the operations company for a while.

Then he made another call.

"Cooperation?" Nora expressed surprise.

"That's right, Old Tang's company withdrew from the Spirit Club."

"What's going on?" Nora laughed on the other end of the phone. "Don't worry about it." Ryan responded.

"Okay, see you tomorrow. Where should I find you?"

"Come to my office."

·
The next day, Ryan saw Nora with short black hair in the office. She looked no different from the last time they met, except that she was dressed more casually. She wore tight jeans that outlined her round legs, and a tight T-shirt on her upper body, which clearly showed her slender waist.

"I was on vacation with my new boyfriend, and I rushed here when I heard the news about you," Nora explained.

"It seems that I am quite important to you!"

"Of course, you are a high-quality partner. At least I have achieved good enough results from you." Nora nodded.

"In that case, send a prettier contact next time, preferably one who doesn't have a boyfriend." Ryan handed the plan to the other party.

"Isn't it enough that I accompany you? Although I have a new boyfriend, he hasn't touched me yet. It's not impossible for you to have some sex first. If you want, it's also okay for me to break up with him. But I'm a woman with strong desires, so you have to be mentally prepared." Nora teased, biting the temple of her sunglasses.

Ryan was really worried about her boyfriend.

Seeing that Ryan didn't respond, Nora lowered her head and looked at the plan.

"In other words, we need to look for properties across the country and win these contracts through purchase or long-term lease. The Spirit Club will be responsible for finding tenants, and the difference in rent will be shared by both parties. Isn't this McDonald's profit model?" Nora flipped through it a few times and immediately understood the truth of the matter.

"We need half of the rental profit share. In return, you don't have to worry about the funding. This deal is fair enough, what do you think?" Nora felt that there was nothing wrong with this business model, so she went straight to the point of discussing the offer.

"Old Tang only charges 35%."

"Then you must have other deals with him. 45% is our bottom line. If you think it's appropriate, then we'll make the deal. If you don't think it's appropriate, I'll continue on vacation." Nora followed. This was not the first deal, and she was not going to continue to test the waters with Ryan.

"So what do you think of your new boyfriend?"

"Sometimes he's a little boring and unromantic. He's a young university professor and the older brother of my colleague." Nora thought for a moment and said.

"Then you'd better stop harming the innocent university professor. You have to end your leave." Ryan agreed.

In fact, he could accept a 50% share. Although Old Tang only had 35%, he still had shares himself. All in all, Ryan actually earned more than before. If we really compare strength, Old Tang is still far behind large private equity firms like Carlyle.

After Nora left, Ryan checked the news and found out that Don's entertainment resort company announced bankruptcy and reorganization. The fourth bankruptcy has finally come. After the reorganization, Don will be completely out. However, considering that those are only non-performing assets located in Atlantic City, Don is not seriously injured. At most, he just lost a piece of meat.

There was also news from Theresa that Ivanka sent someone to take away all personal belongings in the office. Ivanka himself arrived this morning and said that he would stay for two more days to complete the handover work with Theresa. It can be said that they parted ways in peace.

Ryan then called Jimmy Irwin. Jimmy was very satisfied with the design draft that Ryan got for free. He had already found a suitable location, located on the famous Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, not far from the well-known VIPPER (Viper) Club in Los Angeles.

Finally, Ryan called Virgil again. He was working on perfecting the design of the Spirit Club these days.

"I'm going to give you the design work of the Bad Room Carnival, including the logo and stage design, as well as all the visual design." Ryan assigned Virgil a new job.

"I need a few men. I can't handle this by myself."

"That's entirely possible. You can interview them yourself and recruit whoever you think is better." Ryan handed over all the power to Virgil.

·
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed. With the arrival of summer, Florida has become more humid and hot. Abnormally, the temperature in New York this year is also much higher than in previous years.

In the air-conditioned room, Ivanka was lying on the sofa, holding her mobile phone in both hands. The TV next to her was on and there were a pile of snack packages on the table. She was not wearing any makeup and her hair was simply tied up. It seemed that she had not gone out much in the past month.

As the door closed, a middle-aged, wealthy woman who looked somewhat like Ivanka came into the living room. The servants behind her were carrying large and small bags, all of which were daily necessities and food bought from the supermarket.

"Ivanka, I'm glad you can stay with me, but the way you are now... you should go out for a walk." Mother Ivana said worriedly.

"It's too hot outside." Ivanka put down her phone, grabbed some snacks and potato chips without even looking up, and stuffed them into her mouth. Since she came back from Florida, her temperament has changed drastically. She has abandoned her fitness and started eating high-calorie foods that she had never touched before. She has hardly gone out for the past month and has been lying at her biological mother's place all day.

You can see messages scrolling quickly on her phone screen, which looks like a group chat on some communication software.

Ivanka picked up the remote control to switch channels. When she switched to the CW channel, she saw the interview screen of the reporter on the scene: "It is less than a week before the opening of the Bad Room Carnival. At present, a brand new stage has been built on the original site of the Memorial Park. Recently, many heavyweight performance guests have come to the local area for intensive rehearsal. The performance session of this carnival will be broadcasted by the CW channel around the clock...

Here is some news about Ryan Rivers. He and Taylor attended the Youth Choice Awards yesterday. They acted intimately and hugged in front of the camera, using their actions to dispel rumors of a disagreement between the two. Ryan won several awards last night, including..."

Ivanka's face turned cold and she quickly changed the channel. Although she took the initiative to block all news about Ryan, she still ran into Ryan on TV and in various magazines and newspapers. It was all because Ryan was too popular.

Her biological mother came over at this time, looked at the pile of snacks on the table, and then looked at her daughter whose facial lines had become rounder. She couldn't help but sigh, and started to nag like most mothers.

"How would I know? I have had an unusually good appetite these past two days... Okay, okay, stop talking." Ivanka didn't want to listen any more, so she stood up and walked into the room.

Not long after coming in, Ivanka went into the bathroom to relieve herself. Sitting on the toilet, Ivanka recalled the changes during this period. She began to become very sensitive to oil fumes, and even the smell of coffee. Although she had been lying at home all day, she often felt tired. She also slept a lot more than before, and often felt nauseous in the morning. The frequency of urination also began to increase.

At first, she didn't take it seriously until her chest began to swell and hurt from time to time...

Ivanka raised her hand and opened the drawer. Inside was the pregnancy test stick that she had bought downstairs yesterday, and she started to check herself.

Ivanka breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it only showed one bar.

Then she realized that the detection needed a certain amount of time to work, so she had to put it down and stared at it intently.

Time passed minute by minute, and these few minutes became the most difficult time in Ivanka's life.

After a few minutes that seemed as long as a year, Ivanka saw a second red line slowly appear on the indicator, but the second line was very shallow.

The color is so light, there must be an error! Ivanka thought with a fluke, and then immediately read the instructions.

But I found that it was clearly written on it that as long as two bars appeared, it proved that it existed!
Ivanka gasped, his hair standing on end. He turned his gaze to the pregnancy test stick again. At this time, the second line became particularly obvious, and the scarlet color seemed to have become some kind of symbol.

"Fuck!" Ivanka cursed under his breath.

After returning from Florida, she stayed at her biological mother's house all day and never met the man.

Therefore, the father of the child must be that man...
