This is the confession of Liu Xiaobin, chairman of the Guangdong Consulting Alliance, and also the life record of a generation of Chinese consultants. From the golden age of barbaric growth to the silent winter of industry decline. They have used their expertise to prescribe medicine for countless companies, but now they are facing comprehensive doubts about their value. When feelings were unsustainable and trust was sold at a low price, a group of "old guys" with an average age of 46 decided to do a very "vulgar" thing after thirteen years on the road of charity - build a business platform. This is not a transformation, this is a last-ditch battle about professional dignity, trust value and the future of the industry. From "the doctor who sells medicine" to "the platform for building hospitals", from "individual heroes" to "ecological symbiosis", they must use their last passion to ignite the glimmer of light in the cracks.

"Bad" Father and "Fat" Son is a realistic novel that revolves around family education, intergenerational conflict and parent-child growth. The story is set in Guangzhou and tells the story of a family war that broke out between Chen Chen, a consultant father, and Yi Quan, his junior high school son, due to a poor English score. Chen Chen is a typical "anxious parent" who believes in systematic discipline and putting scores first, and imposes a high-pressure policy on his son who is severely partial to subjects and slightly fat. Yiquan, on the other hand, gradually closed himself off under his father's "military management". He could only find confidence in physical experiments and rope skipping. The female characters in the family - the rational nutritionist mother Xiao Qiao, the traditional and warm grandmother, the wise and transparent grandmother, and the sharp and intelligent half-sister Chenxin, together form the complex and warm emotional network of this family. As the plot progresses, from the "trouble at the parent-teacher meeting" to the "failure of the physics experiment", from the "battle to defend the lucky money" to the "nuclear explosion of report card", the confrontation between father and son continues to escalate, but it also quietly gives rise to the possibility of understanding. With her grandmother's wise advice, her sister's rational intervention, and her mother's gentle persistence, Chenchen began to reflect on his own education methods. The father and son tried to establish a "learning alliance" and moved from hostility to cooperation. The novel depicts the struggle and growth of a contemporary Chinese family between the involution of education and the warmth of family affection in a humorous and delicate way. It is not only a revelation about "how to be a parent", but also a youth monologue about "becoming oneself". In this family, there are no perfect children or perfect parents, there are only us who keep learning how to love.
