American Entertainment: Taylor Swift wrote a song for the beginning

Chapter 260: Separate bets, paparazzi
"Now I just want to beat this bastard up!" Old Tang said helplessly.

"This is your retribution! Isn't it? It's only reasonable that your daughter has to bear the consequences of what you did!" Ivanka's biological mother, Don's ex-wife, said with a sneer.

"Don't talk about the past. It's been so many years!" Old Tang muttered.

"No matter how many years have passed, you are still like this! When are you going to get married for the fourth time?" Ivanka's biological mother had no intention of stopping and glanced at Old Tang beside her.

"We are here to deal with Ivanka's matter." Old Tang knocked on the table to remind her that this was the real business at hand.

"Didn't you teach me all this? Why are there so many things to do when you follow me?!" Ivanka's mother continued.

"Shut up, Ivana!"

"Why should I shut up? You swore an oath when you got married! How many women have you found outside? Do you need me to count them one by one for you? I gave you chance after chance, but what did I get in return? Tell me? You can abandon all of us for that woman. Are you a man? I'm going to let your daughter know the truth now..." Ivanka's mother was firing on all cylinders, and the situation was about to get out of control.

Ryan and Ivanka stared at each other, but they didn't expect the two to start arguing first. Ivanka couldn't help but make a face of holding his forehead.

"Ivanka, take your mother away! Quickly!" Old Tang frowned.

Seeing that Ivanka did not move, Old Tang called his men over and then carried his ex-wife away. Ivanka took one last look at Ryan, then stood up and chose to take care of his mother temporarily.

With the departure of the two women, Ryan and Old Tang were the only ones left in the living room.

"See? This is the result of being indecisive. I have changed my mind now and am a pure family man!" Old Tang warned Ryan based on his own experience.

"Yes, you have been a playboy all your life and have been married many times. When you were 59, you married a model who was 24 years younger than you. She was pregnant at the time. You are such a good man." Ryan smiled.

"I...what do you know? I am no different now than when I was thirty. It's definitely not because I'm unable to do anything." Old Tang said arrogantly, "It doesn't matter what you do, but you can't bother Ivanka! Because she is my daughter."

"Of course, I won't bother her, I'll just take good care of her." Ryan nodded immediately.

Old Tang took a deep breath and was almost so angry that he got a brain congestion. At this time, he really didn't know what to do with Ryan.

"The child must take her mother's last name. As for the rest, it's up to Ivanka to decide. You two can handle it yourselves. I don't want to be in charge of it anymore." Old Tang spoke with great difficulty. His voice sounded a little weak, as if he had suddenly aged ten years. It was obvious that he had agreed.

Once we deal with Old Tang, there will be no more obstacles.

"I actually prepared a gift for you this time, the entire weekend time slot of CW TV." Ryan said slowly, "You have a mature production team. Move the apprentices to CW TV and contract the weekend time slot for your own company. If the operation goes well, you can make a lot of money."

This gift is more impactful than flowers or diamond rings. It is real gold and silver, and it coincides with Lao Tang's current move to expand into the entertainment industry.

Firstly, Ryan is really too busy to handle everything, and secondly, letting Old Tang have a taste of success allows the two sides to further cooperate. Although Old Tang has gone bankrupt many times, those reorganizations did not touch the core assets of his family business. Compared with Ryan, he is still a big tree. Even if we take a step back, the connections in Old Tang's hands are an extremely valuable asset. Ryan had met David Koch in the club before.

"NBC executives will definitely not be happy to hear this news." Old Tang thought.

"I can provide you with cover in public." Ryan said immediately.

"Isn't this a bit bad?" Old Tang hesitated.

"Maybe you and your aunt don't want to accept me, but it cannot be denied that Ivanka has become the bond between you and me. I will need to rely on you in many areas in the future." Ryan nodded.

"No matter what, we are a family now." Old Tang also smiled for the first time in a long time.

Ryan presented such a big gift right away, which was a good thing. Old Tang was not a rule-abiding person. Compared with Jared Kushner who was full of morality, Old Tang actually liked Ryan more and even had some sympathy for Ryan. He saw the vitality and drive of young people in Ryan, which was quite similar to Old Tang back then. Back then, Old Tang dared to confront the federal government directly, and he could be considered a person who had fought all his life.

"I do have a request. I hope the Spirit Club can be the venue for the Miss America and Miss Teen USA auditions. This will also be to facilitate Ivanka's future work." Ryan brought up the old matter.

Old Tang had previously promised to give Ryan the entire Miss Universe pageant as a reward for Ryan's help, but the deal did not go smoothly. As for Miss USA and Miss Teen USA, they are part of Miss Universe, and Ryan only mentioned the location of the audition, so this request is not excessive.

Old Tang nodded: "It's a small matter, commercial real estate..."

"That has been handed over to an asset management company under Carlyle Capital."

Old Tang couldn't help but look a little surprised: "How did you get in touch with them?"

Ryan also told Old Tang everything about the land development around the broken room.

"I see. Speaking of which, David Rubinstein has a good relationship with the Bush family. It was he who invited George H.W. Bush to be Carlyle's senior advisor. The current incumbent is a black man. Carlyle will not have an easy time in the military industry. Its transformation will only accelerate in the next two years. Perhaps you can further cooperate with them in the future." Old Tang advised Ryan.

"Then maybe I'll have to ask you to lend me a hand."

"You're lucky, little boy. Ivanka had your child. By the way, are you going to let her stay in the operating company in the future?" Old Tang did not refuse and continued to ask about Ivanka.

"I think she's a good fit."

"I remember you were also involved in the fashion field? I heard that your brand even collaborated with Dior?" Old Tang thought of something else.

So Ryan told Don about the fight between Delphine and Antoine.

"I was involved in this by accident."

"No wonder. In that case, let Ivanka continue to take over those stores of her personal brand for the time being. When the time is right in the future, they will be directly merged into your personal brand." Old Tang suddenly said, which was quite generous.

"Thank you." Ryan didn't expect that this profit-seeking old man could be generous sometimes.

"What are you thanking me for? As a father, I certainly don't want to see my daughter suffer any injustice."

"Also, how much do you know about Jeffrey?" Ryan continued. This was the biggest question that bothered him now. Even Sharon didn't know much about him.

"I have known him for more than 20 years. We even drove an Impact together. It was a crazy night. We were the only two men at the time." Old Tang proudly talked about what happened that year.

Old Tang then changed the subject, "He had previously attacked some young girls at the Mar-a-Lago Club, all of them teenagers. It was disgusting. Some of them called the police, and the incident became a big deal. I was forced to distance myself from him, but I don't know how he suddenly resolved the situation. It seems like someone in the FBI was helping him."

"Actually, he is now intending to invite me, and seems to want me to provide some convenience." Ryan followed.

"Oh? This is a good thing. He knows many high-ranking members of the Donkey Party!" Old Tang's eyes lit up.

"But you have to do this cleanly and without leaving any traces. Besides, Jeffrey's hobby is becoming more and more disgusting. Can you imagine that?" Old Tang warned.

"My preferences are the same as yours." Ryan said immediately.

"That's right. There is nothing more beautiful in the world than a blonde. If there is..."

"Those are two blond beauties!"

"Smart!" Old Tang laughed.

"I have been excluded now, but you don't have to worry about that. The Donkey Party is the banker now, so it won't hurt to get closer to them. As for the Tea Party on the Elephant Party side, they are also making a lot of moves. We can place our bets separately."

"Wouldn't this alert both sides at the same time?" Ryan imagined.

"Does anyone know about our relationship?" Old Tang asked back.

"That's right." Ryan didn't expect there would be such a benefit. By accident, he and Old Tang formed a secret alliance.

The two chatted until the early morning, discussing some details. As for the original LED large screen supplier, Lao Tang also agreed to participate again.

"Okay, Ivanka is getting impatient." Old Tang stood up, ready to end this long talk.

After Ryan said goodbye to Old Don, he went to Ivanka's bedroom.

As soon as he knocked on the door, Ivanka opened it immediately. "What did you talk about with my father? Did he agree?" Ivanka asked as soon as he came in, fearing that his father would not agree.

Ryan immediately hugged her and said, "No one will stop us from now on."

"Great! This is the best solution." Ivanka immediately hugged Ryan tightly.

Then he suddenly thought of something and opened his eyes abruptly: "No, I haven't promised you yet! Come here..."

She asked Ryan to sit on the chair and she sat on the bed opposite Ryan.

"How on earth are you and I going to deal with this, Taylor?"

"Didn't I tell you already, both of you are my wings. The more wings you have, the higher I can fly." Ryan raised his hands and made a flapping motion.

"My mom is right. You are like my dad, but you are also different from my dad. If you can only choose one, you will only choose Taylor Swift." The last time Ivanka got the answer, she locked herself at home for a whole month.

"It's not much, but at least you have some bottom line," she couldn't help but say.

Ryan immediately stood up and sat next to Ivanka.

"If I had met you first, I would have given up on her too. I admit that I am a little greedy. I think any man would not be able to control his greed when he meets you. In a sense, doing this is indeed a kind of harm to you and Taylor. In order to make up for this harm, I am willing to do better than an ordinary husband." Ryan hugged Ivanka again.

Ivanka snuggled in Ryan's arms. After a long silence, she suddenly asked, "If we didn't have this child, would you still treat me like this?"

"Of course, children are the fruit of love, the result, not the cause. But then again, it is indeed an opportunity for us to get back together. I can only say that I am very lucky." Ryan could feel the warmth from Ivanka's body.

"Maybe this is God's arrangement? The moment I knew I was pregnant with your child, I suddenly thought of this. Maybe God wants us to be together. Let me be your other wife!" Ivanka closed her eyes.

"It's because I'm better." Ryan kissed her forehead.

Ivanka's cheeks turned red. After thinking about it carefully, she realized that this was indeed the case. Only after meeting Ryan did she feel true happiness.

"By the way, in a few days, I will go to the Miami Police Department for a donation ceremony. Do you want to attend?" Ryan suddenly said.

"Why would I go there? If Taylor sees it, he'll definitely think too much." Ivanka said immediately, thinking Ryan was crazy.

"Then let's go swimming together later? You think the sea water is too cold? Let's find a heated swimming pool."

"This will also attract the attention of the paparazzi. Your music festival has attracted quite a few paparazzi here. Some of them have not left and are specifically watching you."

"I know that."

"You want to expose yourself deliberately?"

"After Taylor finishes this stage of the tour, she will return to Florida to rest for a while. She will also attend several award ceremonies, including the MTV Video Music Awards. You know that this award likes to create some dramatic events to increase ratings. For example, last year, Taylor and Mai Li were specially invited to be the outdoor hosting partners."

"What do you mean? You're not going to let me and Taylor fight at the VMAs?"

"I didn't ask you to go there, I just thought it was an opportunity." Ryan seemed to have a special plan.

"I don't understand." Ivanka looked confused.

Miami Police Department, press conference scene.

“Three, two, one…” The guest photographer was wearing the uniform of a local Miami police officer.

Ryan and the director stood together and took a commemorative photo. The director smiled brightly.

"The success of the music festival is inseparable from your contributions. This donation is a thank you to all the police officers for their hard work and protection of peace." Ryan shook hands with the chief and took a second photo.

"You're so polite. This is what we should do. If possible, the bad room can be moved to Miami. It's our honor to protect a kind-hearted person like you."

"Then your colleagues in Orlando are going to hate you."

"Let them hate each other, it's not just a county anyway." The director shook his head, not caring at all.

"Also, regarding the previous demonstrations, I wonder how you plan to deal with them?" Ryan mentioned.

"The ringleaders are still in custody. Don't worry, they will be severely punished to make those who want to use this incident to extort money from you give up on this idea." The director said immediately.

"We should still handle this in a fair and impartial manner. I just feel that there might be someone behind this, so I think..." Ryan stopped there.

"This is difficult to handle. After all, this matter does not violate any laws, and we have no way to investigate it... However, we can provide some convenience and pass on some information. It is up to you how to investigate it." The director smiled.

"That's enough." Ryan asked Beric, who was standing nearby, to come over, gave him a few instructions, and then asked the director to exchange contact information with Beric.

When Ryan came out of the police station, a bearded man sitting in a glass seat in the coffee shop across the street raised a camera and pressed the shutter.

"How much can such boring street photos sell for? I might as well go back to Los Angeles." The girlfriend sitting opposite the man was stirring her coffee boredly.

"What do you know? In my experience, the cleaner a person is, the dirtier things he does in private. Otherwise, why would he donate to the police station?"

"You are so experienced, so how come you can't make it in Los Angeles?" my girlfriend chuckled.

"It's not that I can't make it, I'm just trying to find a new way! Ryan Rivers only stays in Florida and is rarely followed by the paparazzi. I have a feeling this will make big news! We're going to get rich soon." The man said excitedly.

The girlfriend snorted and the man stood up immediately, "Ryan is leaving. We need to follow him."

The two got directly into the car, the girlfriend took the lead, and the man followed and filmed all the way.

"Isn't this the way back to the Bad Room Nightclub? Where is Ryan going?" The man immediately sensed something was wrong.

The vehicle followed him all the way to a private swimming pool in Miami, where the man took several photos of Ryan entering the pool.

"Swimming in broad daylight? Does Ryan like swimming very much?" the man expressed confusion.

"How long will we have to wait this time?" the girlfriend asked patiently.

"Wait until he comes out."

"You keep an eye on it yourself. I want to take a nap." The girlfriend simply laid the seat down.

It was evening in a blink of an eye.

"Out!"

The woman was awakened by her boyfriend's scream. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, and saw Ryan, who was fully disguised, had just walked out of the swimming pool. There was a woman following behind him. This woman was also fully disguised, and her appearance could not be seen at all. The only feature was her tall and plump figure and blonde hair.

"When will Taylor come back? Isn't she on tour in Canada?" The woman rubbed her eyes.

"Yes, this is the big news I was talking about!" The man smiled and clicked the shutter as if he was printing money.

"What's the use? These two people didn't even get on the same car, and they had zero communication throughout the entire process." The woman looked at them for a few seconds, then said with some disappointment.

"But at least it's a guaranteed income. In my opinion, Ryan is definitely not as loyal to Taylor as the outside world thinks. Let's keep these photos for now so as not to alert the enemy. We'll keep a 24-hour watch on him these days!" The bearded man made up his mind.
