Final answer:
The question relates to characters in a work of fiction, specifically one interested in the bagel business and another named Ivan, which does not match with the provided text excerpts. The actual texts seem to be from 'Bartleby, the Scrivener' by Herman Melville and do not contain information about the bagel business or Ivan.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question appears to refer to characters in a narrative potentially from a work of fiction, where one character wanted to be in the bagel business, and for some reason, had an aversion to another character named Ivan. The excerpts provided, however, do not mention anyone with an ambition in the bagel business or a character named Ivan. Given that the texts seem to relate to Herman Melville's "Bartleby, the Scrivener," it appears the question might be about a different story or there is some confusion in the question itself. It's clear from the excerpts that the themes involve dissatisfaction with work and a desire for a better station in life. Nonetheless, without specific text reference provding context about the bagel business or the character Ivan, it is not possible to provide a definitive answer to this question.
