The next morning, Zhou Xin felt refreshed and made a simple breakfast. The two then set off to the city to buy supplies.

Zhang Jianing held Zhou Xin's arm the whole way, clinging tightly to him, her face beaming with happiness.

Now that the team has grown, there are many more supplies to prepare. Although Zhou Xin's Dodge Maverick has a lot of space, it can't hold that much stuff.

So after they purchased all the supplies, they rented a truck from a freight company to deliver the goods to the mining area.

When the two returned to the mining area with the supplies, the water and electricity facilities in the living area were already completed, but the sewage treatment facilities would take several more days to finish.

After all the fuss, the container was finally packed and ready to move in.

"Hathaway, you look especially happy and beautiful today!"

During a break from installing the gold mining factory, Edward returned to the container to rest and immediately noticed Zhang Jianing's unusual behavior.

"I'm so happy to see that the mine is almost finished," Zhang Jianing said with a smile.

"No, that can't be it. You have a happy smile on your face, something good must have happened!" Edward may seem carefree, but he is actually very thoughtful.

Just as Zhang Jianing was thinking of something to change the subject, Zhou Xin walked over and put his arm around her shoulder, saying to Edward, "From now on, she'll be the mistress of the mine, so don't offend her."

Zhang Jianing was secretly delighted, her face flushed with shyness.

"Haha, looks like we need to have a proper celebration tonight!"

Edward looked at them with a smile, appearing quite happy as well.

"No problem, thank you for your hard work these past few days. I'll cook you something delicious tonight!" Zhou Xin said, in high spirits and in a very good mood.

That night, they fired for the first time in the new camp.

In two more days, the gold mining factory will be completely completed. Then, all they need to do is wait for the permafrost to thaw sufficiently before they can start their new gold mining season.

Looking back on the past year, Zhou Xin was filled with emotion.

After a year of hard work and countless hardships, he finally went from being penniless to becoming the owner of a small mine.

And now, everything is truly beginning.

From then on, he would settle down in Alaska and dig out gold from this frontier land that would change his life.

This area is sparsely populated, and vast tracts of undeveloped land contain unimaginable amounts of gold.

Currently, international gold prices continue to climb, showing no signs of stopping.

It is precisely for this reason that more and more people have recently begun to flock to Alaska to pan for gold.

The golden age of Alaska is about to return.

But Zhou Xin was very confident that he would definitely be the king of gold mining in this land.

A few days ago, he downloaded a diary app on his phone and began recording his daily life in the Alaskan gold rush.

He wanted to see how far he could go in two years, in 2026.

After the meal, Zhou Xin called the group to his office for a short meeting.

"Depending on the temperature rise, our gold mining factory should be able to officially begin production in about a week!"

"This is so exciting! I can't wait to hear the machine start up!"

Edward has devoted himself to the construction of the gold mining factory these past few days, personally handling every detail.

He also made a series of modifications to the original "Red Witch," making its functions more complete and its efficiency higher.

Therefore, he was more eager than anyone else to start the gold mining factory as soon as possible to test the results of his hard work during this period.

"It's clear that our gold mining factory will be outstanding!"

Zhou Xin knew about Edward's dedication; as a mechanical engineer, Edward had devoted almost all of his mechanical knowledge to the gold mining factory.

"Of course, I can guarantee that our gold mining plant won't miss a single grain of gold in the soil."

He certainly had that confidence.

"Edward, you're quite charming when you're serious," Zhang Jianing said with a smile.

She had always thought Edward was a carefree and irresponsible person, but his behavior during this period made her look at him in a new light.

"Of course, I'm just a hardworking and diligent guy who loves his job."

Looking at his smug expression, Zhang Jianing realized she had been overthinking things.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Tomorrow, representatives from the Environmental Protection Bureau and the Safety Supervision Bureau will be coming to inspect our mine. This is crucial for whether the mine can start operations on schedule."

As Zhou Xin spoke, he assigned tasks to the group for the next day, including who would be in contact with which department, the routes to the mining area, and the appropriate dialogue.

After explaining the arrangements, Zhou Xin added, "In a couple of days, two new employees I've hired will be joining the operation. They will be the main operators in the mine."

At this point, Zhang Jianing and Edward both looked at A Luo, making him feel uneasy.

"Don't be nervous. You have fully demonstrated your mechanical operation skills during this period. You are different from the other two. You are not only our main mechanical operator, but also the captain of the operator team."

Hearing his words, Alo not only didn't feel better, but became even more nervous.

"But Mr. Zhou, I've only been learning for less than a month, while they are all experienced masters."

Zhou Xin smiled at him: "But you are a core member of our gold mining team, a partner we completely trust, so you must shoulder this responsibility!"

Alo pondered with a serious expression, then nodded solemnly.

He secretly vowed to lead the entire operator team well, not to hold the gold mining team back, and not to let Mr. Zhou down.

"Of course, you still need to learn from the experienced masters and improve your skills!"

"Okay!" Alo said decisively.

Finally, Zhou Xin looked at Zhang Jianing beside him.

"Ningning, you will be responsible for our logistics from now on. Whether we can live more comfortably in the mining area depends on you."

Zhang Jianing nodded seriously: "Okay, don't worry, I won't let you have any worries. Leave the cooking to me from now on. I've been learning for so long, and my cooking skills have improved a lot."

Since learning cooking from Zhou Xin in Western Australia, she seems to have fallen in love with cooking.

After returning to Miami, he often honed his culinary skills. Although he was still not as good as Zhou Xin, his cooking was already quite good.

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work. You'll also be our chef."

"It's not hard work, I don't have anything else to do anyway."

After the formalities were completed, she did indeed have more free time.

Now that she can spend every day with her sweetheart, she is always smiling, and she naturally enjoys cooking as well.

After assigning everyone their tasks, Zhou Xin clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Alright, I wish our mine a smooth start and a flood of gold!"

"good!"

Everyone responded in unison, their faces beaming with smiles.
