Chapter 23
As Vantna’s comment started rolling in the hired trolls in the live stream jumped in.
Right, show us your painting
[Can’t paint, can you‘
Claiming you tested these abstract expressionism painting tools Give me a break! You’re just deceiving people.]
[Forget calling yourself CrimsonSnow. From now on, it should be CrimsonSnowCan’tPaint!]
Christina watched with a satisfied smirk. She thought she knew just how little talent Yanina had.
Calling herself an abstract expressionist was a joke; if holding a brush was an achievement for her, it would be amazing to see if her persona could survive this onslaught.
Meanwhile, Shawn looked at the comments and offered a slight smile. He picked up a brush, raised his eyebrows, and joked, I can’t do abstract expressionism, but can this brush draw eyebrows}”
His fans quickly rallied behind him.
What if he can’t paint? He’s still gorgeous!]
Seriously, don’t pretend to be a pro if you don’t know what you’re talking about!]
[I’ll buy anything Shawn promotes, no matter what!]
The chat turned chaotic again. But Yanina remained calm. “Abstract expressionism is a treasure in our culture. It’s part of the four gentlemanly arts.”
She paused to let her words sink in. “Learning it elevates your emotions and character while bringing joy along the way. As Yanina spoke, she unfurled the watercolor paper. Shawn helped her hold the palette.
Now, let me show you how great these painting tools really are Yanina picked up a brush, expertly blending the base coloc with powerful strokes. Those familiar with art could see she had genuine talent.
Shawn stood by her side, helping hold the palette and switch brushes. It was a beautiful scene–a true partnership.
Both the critics and loyal fans were taken aback by the “beauty painting.” No one knew how many people would be inspired to try abstract expressionism after watching this.
Soon Yanina finished her painting titled “Sunflowers in the Sun Shawn couldn’t help but be amazed at the smooth brushwork and deep artistic expression.
He thought Yanina was just putting on a show, but it turned out she really could paint
Shawn held up the painting to the camera, leaving the live stream audience speechless.
Christina, clenching her phone, felt her frustration boil over. This woman has skill all along and has been hiding it she thought to herself.
Previously, when Yanina claimed the painting of Sherman was hers, Christina didn’t believe it. Now, after seeing her talent, lier anger grew.
She thought, “What’s the point? The trolls we hired are just becoming Yanina’s fans at this point! No way! I must take this woman down a notch and expose her true nature!

In the live stream, Shawn’s fans even started to try to get Yanina and Shawn together.
Crimson Snow, you’re the goddess in my heart! Be with my god soon!]
Il declare Shawn is yours! You deserve him
[Shawn and CrimsonSnow forever!)
[Together!]
At that moment, the word “together flooded the entire screen.
Yanina retained her calm demeanor, holding the set of painting tools. This set is perfect for beginners, but keep in mind it wears out quickly. You’ll need to replace it every month, so think carefully before buying”
But the viewers weren’t listening.
I buy whatever CrimsonSnow promotes, no matter what!]
CrimsonSnow, I’ll send you a cruise ship! Paint another one for me, please!]
CrimsonSrtow, draw another one!)
gaze, and the chat filled with swoons.
“CrimsonSnow, I have a suggestion.” Shawn turned to Yanina with a warm ga
“What’s your suggestion?”
“How about we auction off this painting? All the money goes toward buying more abstract expressionism painting tools to donate to kids in the mountains!”
Yanina nodded eagerly. “Great idea! Let’s put this painting up for auction on the platform.”
Next, Yanina and Shawn teamed up to promote a few more products, and without fail, everything sold out.
Once the live stream ended, Shawn’s gaze lingered on Yanina. “Is there something on my face?” Yanina asked, touching her cheek in confusion.
“There is! Your charm! That special spark you have!” Shawn replied sincerely. “How about making things official? You know, be my girl–sweet with no sour?”
Yanina paused, unsure if he was being serious or just joking. Either way, she didn’t share those feelings for him
“Today was fun, and I hope we can collaborate again in the future,” she said politely.
Shawn frowned, about to reply when Yetta rushed over, phone in hand, practically bursting with excitement. “Yani! Your painting video just went live, and it’s already gotten over thirty million views!
“Even the dean of the National Academy of Fine Arts commented on your work! You’re already trending at the top!”
Yetta was practically glowing with excitement. After today’s live stream, Yanina’s fan base was about to explode. She had five million followers now, but by tomorrow morning, it could easily surpass ten million.
Right now, Shawn was the only one in Goldenlight Entertainment with over ten million followers. That meant that after tonight, Yanina would be the second most popular streamer in the company.
“Don’t get too hyped up, it’s just a painting.” Yanina said, maintaining her cool demeanor.
Shawn raised an eyebrow, looking at her. “Shouldn’t you guys thank me properly?”

Before Yamna could respond. Vetta jumped in front of Shawn with a silly grin. “How about marrying you?”
Vanina shot her a look and thought. What a flirt
She quickly pulled Yetta behind her and said to Shawn, “We should definitely thank you. Without your help, the live stream wouldn’t have attracted so many viewers. I’ll treat you to dinner
“Dinner’s great, but I want it homemade by you” Shawn replied with an amused smile.
“Okay, okay? Let’s have dinner at our place Before Yanina could object, Yetta nodded enthusiastically. Having dinner with Shawn was a dream come true for her.
Yanina shook her head in disbelief. Yetta was all starry–eyed.
At that moment, the director walked in, interrupting them. “The auction for that painting just wrapped up. After taxes and the company’s cut, you’re left with…
