"It was Yi Yi Zhonghai who started it," Sha Zhu said bitterly.

When Sha Zhu acted foolishly, he didn't care about time or place.

In front of so many people, he kicked Yi Yi Zhonghai away with one foot.

Yi Yi Zhonghai lay in the pit, wailing incessantly.

Chen Tian sneered in his heart; these two guys were truly biting each other.

"He He Yuzhu, Yi Yi Zhonghai, what are you two doing!"

Li Changhai was furious and ran over in a hurry.

At the construction site, quite a few people had already gathered.

There were workers from the steel mill, and also the construction team that had been transferred over.

Sha Zhu and Yi Yi Zhonghai biting each other caused quite a commotion again.

Many workers stopped their work and watched the fun.

Sha Zhu looked at Chen Tian with an unconvinced face.

It was Yi Yi Zhonghai who started it; he originally couldn't be bothered with Yi Yi Zhonghai.

Who told Yi Yi Zhonghai to curse him for not being able to marry a wife.

Facing Li Changhai, Sha Zhu’s attitude was rude.

"I’m disciplining Yi Yi Zhonghai, what does it have to do with you?"

Li Changhai was furious; this Sha Zhu dared to reject his face in front of so many people.

"Huh, someone fainted?"

"Great, now, let's see what you dog thing will do."

Sha Zhu’s eyes lit up, and he left the small cart and ran toward the crowd.

Taking this opportunity to slack off and not work, and also to watch the fun, Sha Zhu naturally wouldn't miss it.

A fellow worker fainted, and Sha Zhu gloated. As long as there was a situation at the construction site, Sha Zhu was happy.

Chen Tian was the chief engineer, and Sha Zhu wished for something to happen every day, making Chen Tian overwhelmed.

When such a thing happened, Chen Tian definitely couldn't sit still.

Yi Yi Zhonghai had his head bleeding from being hit by a stone, and hearing someone fainted, he couldn't care about wailing and also gathered around.

At such a time, it was Chen Tian’s turn to be anxious and angry.

Yi Yi Zhonghai sneered in his heart; this young kid Chen Tian, encountering such a thing, must be anxious and scratching his head.

"Engineer Chen, it seems someone fainted over there," Yu Yu Haitang said anxiously.

"Let's go take a look."

Chen Tian was unhurried, and Yu Yu Haitang felt at ease following him.

"Make way, Engineer Chen is here."

Someone shouted, and the crowd made a path.

A young worker was lying on the ground, pale and delirious.

"What happened?"

Chen Tian asked.

"Engineer Chen, Xiao Xu fainted."

The worker looked panicked.

Two young doctors carrying medical kits ran over in a hurry to provide emergency treatment to the young man.

Factory Director Yang and Li Changhai and others ran over, their faces full of tension.

It had only been two days since work started, and someone fainted at the construction site.

The current situation was unclear, and the specific situation was not yet known.

As factory leaders, they were naturally very anxious.

More and more people gathered at the construction site.

"Doctor Huang, how is it?"

Factory Director Yang asked with a worried face.

The two doctors were obviously too young and inexperienced, and facing such a sudden situation, they were a bit flustered.

The steel mill project had just begun, and many infrastructure and logistics support works were not fully in place.

The infirmary hadn't been built yet, some instruments and equipment hadn't been transported, and the doctors could only perform simple checks.

The fainted worker should have some difficult and complicated miscellaneous disease, and for a while, the two doctors couldn't figure out the cause.

"Factory Director, the equipment is too simple, we can't check the worker's illness, better send him to the hospital quickly."

The doctor said helplessly.

Factory Director Yang hurriedly directed people to lift the worker and was about to send him to the car.

"Wait."

Chen Tian spoke to stop them.

Everyone looked astonished, not knowing what Chen Tian meant.

"Engineer Chen, saving people is urgent, we can't delay any longer."

Chen Tian shook his head, "At such a time, the cause of the patient fainting is unknown, so he cannot be moved casually."

Everyone’s eyes widened; did Engineer Chen also know medicine?

"Pah, pretending to be a big shot."

Sha Zhu stood in the crowd and cursed in a low voice.

Sha Zhu had a gloomy face; why was Chen Tian everywhere?

He saw Factory Director Yang and Li Changhai’s anxious appearance and felt very happy.

Chen Tian’s calm appearance also dealt a heavy blow to Sha Zhu.

"I want to see what kind of tricks you're going to pull again." Sha Zhu stared at Chen Tian with resentful eyes.

In the crowd, Yi Yi Zhonghai stood on tiptoe and looked around.

He hoped there would be more such accidents, preferably making Chen Tian busy and criticized.

Chen Tian showed off his skills, saved the worker, and stirred up another wave of excitement at the construction site.

The workers talked endlessly about how Chen Tian was a Level 3 Engineer at such a young age and had displayed superb medical skills today.

The workers all regarded Chen Tian as a role model.

Sha Zhu, with a dark face, pushed a small cart, exhausted like a dog.

Hearing the workers singing Chen Tian's praises, Sha Zhu felt a tightness in his chest.

A worker who knew Sha Zhu even added that Chen Tian also had exquisite culinary skills; he had just taught Sha Zhu's apprentice a few tricks, and the apprentice was already cooking better than Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu was nothing but a piece of trash.

Sha Zhu was so angry he nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.

Xu Xu Damao mingled in the crowd, pretending to work.

Unlike Sha Zhu, Xu Xu Damao did not need to push a small cart back and forth to haul gravel.

He followed the workers to haul water for the site, which was much easier than what Sha Zhu was doing.

After seeing Chen Tian's superb medical skills with his own eyes, Xu Xu Damao was moved.

He had been married for several years and had no children.

This was Xu Xu Damao's secret heartache.

Sha Zhu often used this matter to mock Xu Xu Damao.

He called him a rooster that couldn't lay eggs.

Because of this, Xu Xu Damao had been unable to hold back several times and provoked Sha Zhu, only to be beaten black and blue by him.

With Yi Yi Zhonghai officiating and favoring Sha Zhu, the compensation Sha Zhu paid was merely symbolic—a few yuan—which didn't hurt or itch at all.

"Chen Tian is so capable; maybe he can help me."

Xu Xu Damao thought to himself, and unable to wait, he immediately ran to find Chen Tian.

……

Chen Tian was inspecting the quality of the foundation work, followed by several foremen.

"Hmm, no problems."

"Building the steel mill is of the utmost importance; we must ensure the quality." Seeing Chen Tian nod, the foremen were very happy.

For the work they led to be affirmed by Chen Tian was an honor.

"Keep it up, fellow workers. At this rate, we can finish the foundation today."

The workers' spirits were high, and they worked even harder.

In this era, every worker had a strong sense of honor.

Being able to participate in the construction of such a large-scale factory made them feel glorious.

Contributing to the takeoff of the Dragon Kingdom, everyone's blood was boiling with passion.

Chen Tian smiled at the workers and prepared to go to another site to take a look.

Turning around, he saw Xu Xu Damao jogging toward him.

"Xu Xu Damao, why aren't you working properly? Why are you running around?"

Seeing Xu Xu Damao, Chen Tian frowned.

Just because he gave him a pleasant look didn't mean he could slack off and not work.

Although Xu Xu Damao had always been respectful to him and had never schemed against him.

That didn't mean Xu Xu Damao was a good person.

Xu Xu Damao was merely seeing that Chen Tian was powerful and wanted to curry favor with him.

If Chen Tian were ever schemed into a miserable state by Sha Zhu and Yi Yi Zhonghai, Xu Xu Damao would definitely step in to kick him while he was down.

For a person like Xu Xu Damao, whose head oozes pus and whose feet grow sores from his wickedness, no matter how good your relationship is with him, when faced with profit, he will still pitilessly screw you over without a moment's hesitation.

He would even report his own wedded wife; Xu Xu Damao's character was despicable to the extreme.

"Hehe, Engineer Chen, I have something to ask of you." Xu Xu Damao wore a fawning expression.

"What is it?" Chen Tian asked.

Xu Xu Damao looked around, and finding no one nearby, he leaned toward Chen Tian and lowered his voice:

"Engineer Chen, you were really amazing when you treated that worker who fainted just now!"

"I didn't expect you to know such brilliant medical skills!"

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I also want you to take a look at me." Xu Xu Damao felt a bit ashamed and was embarrassed to say it directly.

Observing Xu Xu Damao's expression, Chen Tian knew exactly what was going on.

This guy must have come to ask for help regarding his "dead-end" (infertility) problem. Chen Tian put on a confused expression, pretending not to understand.

"Do you have some kind of ailment?"

Xu Xu Damao confirmed again that no one was around. "Well, Engineer Chen, I've been married to Lou Xiao'e for several years, and we still don't have a child."

"This matter has become a heartache for me."

"You heard it this morning, didn't you? Lou Xiao'e was making a scene with me because of this."

Xu Xu Damao sighed. "Lou Xiao'e wants me to go to the hospital with her for a check-up."

"You tell me, as a man, can I afford to lose that face?"

Chen Tian found it somewhat amusing; having a son was important, but Xu Xu Damao's face was also important.

"About this, I've heard people say that perhaps both of you have problems, or maybe just one of you does."

"I advise you, this kind of thing should be checked properly. If you find the problem and treat it early, there might be hope."

Hearing Chen Tian say this, Xu Xu Damao looked distressed.

"That's right, Lou Xiao'e has already had several check-ups, and the reports say there's nothing wrong."

"Could it be my reason then?"

"Engineer Chen, your medical skills are so brilliant, could you take a look at me and see what the reason is?"

Xu Xu Damao stammered, finally stating his purpose.

"I see." ===== CHAPTER 98 =====
