Alaska Gold Rush Diary

Chapter 115 Alo's Determination

Chapter 116 Alo's Determination

Although Alo got along quite well with them during this time, his mother was still in Gaia, and he might not be willing to go to America with them.

"Alo, I want to ask you a question." He decided to get straight to the point.

"Mr. Zhou, please speak," A Luo said quickly.

Zhou Xin looked him into the eyes and asked solemnly, "I would like to formally invite you to join my gold mining team. Would you be willing?"

A Luo's face lit up with excitement, and he nodded repeatedly, saying, "I do!"

"I hope you can think it over carefully before answering me. My plan is to open a formal mine in Alaska, USA. If you agree to be our team member, you will naturally have to come to America with us."

A Luo was slightly taken aback. He had been so caught up in the joy of being invited by Zhou Xin that he hadn't considered the consequences before agreeing.

After Zhou Xin said that, he immediately calmed down.

Although he possessed the passion and impulsiveness of youth, his tragic past also made him more mature than his peers.

For him, it doesn't matter where he lives or works, but he is not alone now. He also has a mother who is addicted to drugs and is still undergoing compulsory drug rehabilitation in a drug rehabilitation center.

His mother is his only relative in the world now, and he has a very deep affection for her; otherwise, he wouldn't have risked his life to steal drugs for her.

Given the current situation, it's impossible for him to take his mother to America, and even if he could, she might not be willing.

If he goes to America alone, it means his mother will be left without anyone to take care of her.

Deep down, he longed to adventure with Zhou Xin. He held Zhou Xin in high esteem and admired him, wanting to follow him and become like him.

However, out of a son's responsibility to his mother, he simply could not accept leaving her alone in Gaia.

For a moment, he was caught in a deep dilemma.

Zhou Xin patted him on the back and smiled, "You don't need to answer me right away. Just tell me the answer before we leave here."

"By the way," Zhou Xin thought for a moment and then continued, "if you decide to come to America with us, I can find someone to help settle your mother in Georgetown after she leaves the rehab center."

Of course, this will definitely cost a lot of money, and living in Georgetown is also very expensive.

However, if you join my gold-mining team, you should be able to earn this money easily.

Upon hearing his words, Alo's eyes lit up.

Once her mother successfully kicks her drug addiction, she will be fully capable of taking care of herself and will not need anyone else to look after her.

If I send her a sum of money every month, she will live very comfortably in Georgetown.

He had no doubt whatsoever about whether he could make money by following Zhou Xin.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated and exclaimed, "Mr. Zhou, I'm willing to go to America with you!"

"I told you you don't need to rush to answer me. You can think about it some more. We plan to leave for the United States in two days. You can tell me your answer by tomorrow night so we have enough time to process your visa."

Zhou Xin knew that A Luo was still young and impulsive, so he wanted to let him think things through carefully.

Alo nodded and said solemnly, "Okay!"

The next afternoon, A Luo came over and told Zhou Xin that he had made up his mind.

"Since you've made up your mind, I'll contact someone to help you with the visa application right away. You're not an adult yet, so the procedures will be more complicated, and we might not be able to apply for a long-term visa for you right now. But once you get there, there's always a way to resolve things."

In the United States, as long as you have money and can generate enough tax revenue for the local government, living there long-term is not a big problem.

"By the way, welcome to my gold mining team! You're the third, no, the fourth official member!" Edward also liked the boy quite a bit and seemed happy about his joining.

Alo's face was full of excitement: "Thank you, Mr. Edward, and thank you, Mr. Zhou. I will definitely work hard from now on!"

"Haha, we've been working for quite a while now, so let's take a good rest for a bit. After all, people aren't machines," Zhou Xin said with a smile.

He was indeed feeling quite tired due to the complicated experiences he had gone through recently, and needed to take some time to adjust his physical and mental state.

"Little one, let me tell you, America is a paradise for the rich and a hell for the poor. We're practically rich now, and when we get there, I'll show you the joys of paradise!"

Edward grabbed Alo and put his arm around her, a sly grin spreading across his face.

Looking at his appearance, Zhou Xin sighed inwardly: Why do I have a feeling that I can't let A Luo follow this guy?

The three of them waited another day before Alo's visa was finally processed.

During this time, Zhou Xin contacted Chinos of Gaia.

He didn't tell himself about how the locals had smuggled the gold out of Gaia; he only said that his gold-mining work had gone wrong and all the gold had been lost.

Of course, Chinus didn't believe him, but he didn't call him out on it.

Although he would be subject to some investigations as a result, as a seasoned veteran, he was confident that he could resolve these issues.

Next, Zhou Xin made a new request of him: to help settle Alo's mother in Georgetown after she left the rehabilitation center.

Although this was not within Chinos's business scope, Zhou Xin offered a fee that he could not refuse.

After resolving Alo's issue, he immediately had Edward buy three plane tickets to Anchorage, Alaska.

Originally, they planned to fly to Miami first, spend a few days with Zhang Jianing there, and then return to Alaska.

However, while browsing Alaskan land rental information these past two days, Zhou Xin saw that there were several relatively cheap plots of land available for rent, so he decided not to delay any longer and returned to Alaska immediately.

He needs to conduct a detailed survey of these plots of land as soon as possible, and if he determines which one has development value, he will immediately rent it.

This is a golden opportunity that shouldn't be missed. If someone else rents out a cheap and valuable piece of land, you'll regret it.

While rest is important, preparations for the mine are even more crucial.

Anyway, we can survey the land while resting, and maybe even go hunting or fishing in the mountains.

Zhang Jianing was initially very disappointed, but after Zhou Xin explained the reasons, she expressed her support for his decision.

Although she was eager to meet Zhou Xin as soon as possible, she also knew that what Zhou Xin wanted to do most right now was to get the mine up and running, and she had to give him her full support.

Moreover, the sooner Zhou Xin gets the mine up and running, the sooner she can go and help him work, so the two of them can spend every day together.

Zhou Xin and Edward were both quite excited as they were finally about to return to Alaska.

It has been seven months since I left Alaska last September.

For the past seven months, they have been running around and hardly stopped.

Fortunately, the hard work paid off handsomely. Zhou Xin finally saved enough money to open a mine, and Edward also finally had some savings.

It's easy to imagine that their feelings upon returning to Alaska will be very different from when they left.

More precisely, they finally had enough capital to establish themselves in Alaska and a promising future.

With this hope in mind, they embarked on their journey back to Alaska.
