Deepwater: Chinese-style Business
General Fiction深水:中国式生意
Guo Xiaodun
[Relationship between Men and Women + Social Reality] Water has no permanent shape, but it can change its shape after entering different objects. Human beings are like water, they have to be able to "take shape according to the object". As the saying goes, "Those who are accustomed to water nature will establish themselves in the world." The rivers and lakes are unfathomable, and there are whirlpools, undercurrents, and reefs somewhere. If you are not accustomed to water, you will inevitably capsize. Fan Dawei is a businessman struggling on the edge of failure. His dream of taking root in the provincial capital has been repeatedly frustrated. Jiang Haolei is well versed in the "rules" and relied on a strange stone called "Golden Bull Watching the Moon" to win the river cleaning project. He also used this to promote the transfer of battlefield licenses and achieve a career breakthrough. With the launch of the "Riverside Scenic Corridor" project, the competition between various forces has become fierce. Business, human relations, and political intrigues are intertwined here to form a contemporary scene of rivers and lakes. Fan Dawei is also practicing "water nature" in the cruel world... On the other hand, Fan Dawei's journalist girlfriend Tong Hui meets female entrepreneur Shen Aili through a character report, and the two pursue their own self-worth in the gap between shopping malls, workplaces and emotions. Tong Hui chose to resign and start a business in an attempt to get rid of her emotional fetters with Fan Dawei; while Shen Aili, despite having tens of millions of assets, healed the trauma of her marriage with a minimalist life. They reflect contemporary women's redefinition of independence and happiness. This book is a mirror that reflects human nature, relationships and the tide of the times. It tells the survival wisdom of a group of people in following the trend and taking advantage of it. The novel reveals a reality: the real winner is not the person with the most capital, but the person who understands water nature best, makes good use of rules, and is well versed in "changing things into shapes".

Doorway: the Days When I Was a Contractor
General Fiction门道:我当包工头的那些日子
Guo Xiaodun
[Industry Insider + Social Reality] Three hundred and sixty lines, there is a way to go. The engineering industry has the deepest connections and the most difficult connections. "Doorway" is a social reality novel that profoundly reveals the game between the ecology and human nature of the engineering industry. The story revolves around a highway construction project, with the turning point of fate of the contractor Tao Yueming as the main line, depicting the arduous journey of a small character struggling to break through in the reality where capital, power and desire are intertwined. On the one hand, Tao Yueming has to work hard to manage various relationships and win the "fat meat" in the project. He is eager to upgrade from a contractor to a project boss, but he is restricted by funds and rules. He walked between love and law, justice and profit, and had to use some inhumane means in exchange for a signature - this was both a realistic victory and an ideal defeat. On the other hand, construction projects are no longer what they used to be. Contractors are no longer superior. Migrant workers have become a scarce resource and their status has quietly reversed. Whoever wins people's hearts will control the lifeblood of engineering. This transformation from "managing people" to "getting people" reflects the essential changes in labor relations under the market economy. He has to use his emotions and skills to build and maintain a powerful team and do a good job. And this is just the beginning of a thorny road for a contractor. He will have to deal with various difficulties, solve various accidents, and pass through one level after another... This is not only a construction battlefield, but also a testing ground for human nature. Different roles form a complex social picture. Favors, hidden rules, transactions for position... Everyone's behavioral logic ultimately points to survival and interests. The novel reveals a reality: the real winner is not the person with the most capital, but the person who understands water nature best, makes good use of rules, and is well versed in "changing things into shapes".

Medical Trends: Things I Experienced in the Medical Circle
General Fiction医道风云:我在医药圈经历的那些事
Guo Xiaodun
[Industry insider + power game + marriage emotions + social reality] Is it difficult to see a doctor? Is it expensive to take medicine? If you understand the competition for power, resources, and interests in the medical circle, you will know the answer. After graduating from the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Li Yan rejected the utilitarian logic of the big city and insisted on returning to his hometown to inherit the traditional Chinese medicine hall passed down by his ancestors, adhering to the ancestral motto of "healing people and treating diseases." However, this persistence quickly reveals profound contradictions and dilemmas in the materialistic social context. After his girlfriend Liao Manxue became pregnant, her urgent need for a stable life and material security formed a sharp contradiction with the reality that he had been repeatedly frustrated in society. He had to give up his belief and work in a public hospital in the provincial capital. But the hospital is not a spotless place of angels. The various power games and black-box operations inside shocked him. He suffered greatly from his conscience as a doctor and his career life. He finally left because he could not bridge the gap between ideals and reality and went to a private hospital. However, private hospitals also have their own "jianghu". The boss He Xidong's words "your ideals are too high" reveal the reality that in this order built by resources and compromise, being high-minded often means being marginalized. When traditional values encounter market logic, when personal beliefs collide with the pressure of survival, propositions related to medical ethics and dignity reveal their sharp and heavy essence through daily wear and tear - a truth of life with a deep background in Chinese reality.
