Chapter 142: A Good Brother-In-Law

Seeing Dexter still quietly lying unconscious, Elizabeth got even angrier and kicked him several times.

If it weren't for Dexter, she wouldn't have been treated by Ryan that way.

After leaving Elizabeth, Ryan had no intention of returning to the office. After all, there wasn't any important work to do. So he decided to go home and relax.

When he got home, he ran into Ivanka.

"Why are you here?" Ryan greeted her with a smile.

"Brother!" Ivanka was happy to see Ryan coming home alone. She quickly stood up and dragged Ryan to sit on the sofa.

"Come on, sit down bro, come sit beside me." Ivanka looked excited.

Ryan immediately went into alert mode. The last time Ivanka acted like this, she must have had her own agenda. This woman was really cunning. Sometimes she acted like an angel and sometimes like a devil. 

"What is it this time? Does Your Karate Club have any problems?" Ryan sat down and looked at Ivanka.

"Even if there is, I don't care anymore," Ryanimmediately added and gave a clear answer. He didn't want to be dragged away by Ivanka to solve trivial matters anymore.

"Bro...." Ivanka hugged Ryan's hand while stroking his head. Really adorable, she thought.

"Ivy, don't be like that. I only love your sister in this world," Ryan said with a serious face.

"Bro, listen to my problem first." 

Ryan then sighed. "What's the problem now?" His face looked confused, how could his sister-in-law get involved in so many problems.

"This time, it has nothing to do with other people, purely my brilliant idea." Ivanka looked Ryan's eyes seriously with a smile. "So, lately a lot of college kids are opening businesses and I want to open my own,"

"That's all?" Ryan scoffed.

"Yes, that's all," Ivanka tightened her embrace even more. "I just want to be an independent girl!"

Ryan sighed and leaned back on the sofa. "Then what business do you want to open?"

Ivanka immediately answered, "Hmm… I first got the idea about what business I'd like to start in my dorm room. People at my university usually go out and buy clothes at the mall Every Saturday and Sunday. Will I earn a lot of profit if I open a clothing shop at my uni?"

Ivanka was excited to explain her plan, "I think it's a brilliant idea. The girls really like to shop for new clothes. Moreover, my university encourages its students to open businesses so I thought about opening a clothing shop."

Ryan nodded. "Very good! I agree with your plan. So, what can I do for you?"

"Brother is the best! I know you will support me! Ah, but don't tell Sister Irina, she never agreed if I wanted to open my own business before."

Even though he didn't know why, Ryan just nodded.

"Ivy, have you thought about where to open?" Ryan started to analyze the situation. "Then what about the rental price, capital required, supplier of your clothes, etc.? Have you thought about it too?"

Ivanka blushed with a smile. "That... I haven't thought about it at all,"

Ryan immediately felt dizzy. 'If you don't think about basic things like that, how can you start a business?'

"Ivy, are you serious about starting a business or do you want to play around?" Ryan glanced at her.

"Bro, I seriously want to open my own business!" Ivanka's gaze turned serious.

Seeing Ryan's face that looked lazy and hesitant, Ivanka quickly hugged him again. "Bro, you said you wanted to help me. Don't leave me alone!"

"Yes yes." Ryan felt helpless, he knew that this matter would tire him out.

"I thought about it before. For location, there is an empty room that can be rented in the school. The room was quite spacious and it suited me as a clothing shop. When it comes to capital, I've been saving my money all this time. 200 million should be enough, right?" Ivanka smiled.

Two hundred million? That's more than enough!

"When it comes to suppliers..." Ivanka looked confused. "I don't know where to look. Well then, we will go around the city now and find them!"

"Come on bro, let's go now," Ivanka dragged Ryan's hand. "Today we have to find the suppliers!"

Ryan just came home and this conversation only made him lazy. "Ivy, why are you in such a hurry? How about we plan it first?"

"Bro! Didn't you say you would help me? If there is no supplier, I can't run my business. We have to find them right now!" Ivanka managed to drag Ryan off the sofa and take him out of the house.

After that, she took him to her sports car.

When the car started, Ivanka turned and asked, "Where are we going, Bro?"

Geez!

Ryan really wanted to slap himself, his sister-in-law really tested his patience.

"Just a moment," Ryan then took out his cellphone and looked for a location from the Mango Square. After getting it, he gave the directions to Ivanka.

"Follow my directions," Ryan said to Ivanka.

"Alright!" Ivanka immediately sped the car.

Mango Square was a mall as well as a traditional market that sold various goods. Compared to other malls, Mango Square had the cheapest prices. 

In order to find more profit, Ryan decided to look at this place first.

Not long after, the two of them made it to the Mango Square. Seeing the luxury car, the visitors and the sellers were both surprised and curious.

When Ryan and Ivanka got out of their car, they became the center of people's attention. Why did rich people like them come to a place like this?

"Wow, so many clothes!" Ivanka was quite surprised. She could see clothes on display, ranging from children's to adult clothes.

Seeing Ivanka enter a shop, Ryan caught her wrist. "Ivy... It's a clothing shop for kids. The shop we want to visit is over there,"

Ivanka felt embarrassed and followed her brother-in-law.

"Welcome, Miss. Are you looking for clothes?" The shopkeeper smiled broadly as he saw Ivanka and Ryan walking past the shop.

"Yes," Ivanka replied with a smile.

"Then take a look at my shop," the man said. "My shop has lots of clothes for all ages. I guarantee you will get a good price and quality here!"

That man was really excited after he managed to draw the two people's attention. He endlessly explained and talked about the advantages of his shop.

"Welcome to our shop, we sell far better quality clothes than other shops."

Ivanka looked at Ryan with a smile and saw Ryan's expression remain flat. Ivanka finally couldn't hold on and asked, "How much is this shirt?"

"Hahaha it's not expensive. Only 100 thousand," the man's eyes began to roll.

"Very cheap!" Ivanka smiled broadly. When she wanted to buy it, Ryan quickly took action.

"100 thousand? It's a little bit expensive. Ivy, we better look at the other shops first."

After that, Ryan took Ivanka away from that place.

"Ah!" The shopkeeper panicked. "Alright, the price will be 90—Not, 80 thousand just for you today!"

Hearing the person's scream, Ryan kept walking without turning his head. After walking quite a distance, he noticed Ivanka's face that looked confused and innocent.

After sighing, Ryan said, "Ivy, the simplest business rule you need to remember is to buy as cheap as possible and sell as high as possible to get a big profit. If you bought earlier without bidding, how could you possibly get such a high profit?"

"Oh!" Ivanka quickly nodded. "Alright, I'll remember it!"

"Moreover, if you don't understand what the market price is, we better check out a few shops. We need to compare the price and quality given, but also remember that several styles of clothes have different prices."

Ivanka kept nodding like a chicken pecking at the ground. Her eyes looked amazed. "Brother, you're so amazing!"

"Of course, your brother-in-law is the best!" Ryan boasted.

"Then… what should we do now?" Ivanka asked with a smile.

Ryan answered, "Of course we have to check a few shops and compare prices later. After finding a suitable place, then we will buy from them,"

"Good!" Ivanka replied enthusiastically.

"Then, we'd better split up," Ryan then pointed to the right. "You check that direction and I'll be there. After 30 minutes we will meet where we are now,"

It was rare for him to help people unconditionally. This could be the first time he'd done it. After all, Ivanka was his wife's younger sister so he had already considered her his own family.

On the other hand, Ivanka took Ryan's advice and started exploring the shops. While paying attention to clothing styles and prices, Ivanka began to understand the market prices. She really felt stupid when she was happy to hear the word 100 thousand the first time she came. The prices of the other shops were really way below that, almost reaching the 50-60 thousand mark.

In her heart, she was increasingly amazed at her brother-in-law.
