End Infatuation

[BE, short story] Wen Ying has been secretly in love with Qin Yan for ten years. Regarding her relationship, friends described this: "If this is a romance novel, then Qin Yan is the paranoid and affectionate male protagonist who wants the female protagonist to have more than he wants. You are that stupid female cannon fodder. You know that there is someone in the male protagonist's heart and you still follow him through thick and thin, and you can't stop her." Wen Ying was unable to refute and remained silent. The friend added: "Fortunately, you are a little stronger than cannon fodder. You followed Qin Yan from glory to abjection and back to the top again. You really won his heart." Wen Ying said nothing. "But after all your hard work, you finally left at this juncture. You have no feelings for Qin Yan at all." My friend hates that iron cannot become steel. "Tell me about you. You spent ten years of youth in vain. What did you get in the end?" "Maybe..." This time Wen Ying finally had something to say, she said cautiously, "Double salary, five times bonus, and 10% of Qin Group's shares?" The friend was speechless, "... You are very pragmatic." Wen Ying smiled slightly. That's right, she thought, her greatest advantage is that she is pragmatic enough. * Qin Yan always knew that Wen Ying liked him. It wasn't until much later that he realized that it was just her concern. It has nothing to do with him. Purpose: A healthy and beneficial relationship requires both parties to work together
