Chapter 176: Last Chance

Li Yan and the others have searched three acquisition stations, but there are still no clues at all.

Li Yan knew in his heart that his only hope was where the last acquisition station was.

Li Yan's heart is also very complicated now, the last acquisition station is related to his success or failure, if the last acquisition station still has no clues, then Li Yan's mission this time can be declared a failure.

Because time and conditions do not allow Li Yan to continue the investigation, even if this time limit is passed, even if Li Yan finds out the results of the investigation later, it will be useless.

Because by then, the matter has become a foregone conclusion, Li Yan and Chu Cheng have become losers, and the result is no longer important.

Li Yan's heart flashed with all kinds of thoughts, but he was still silent on the surface.

Seeing that it was time for lunch, Li Yan said to Li Kuiyong and his party:

"Let's rest for a while, let's finish lunch and then continue our investigation."

Anyway, there is only one last place left, and the search can be completed no matter how today, and there is still so much time, so Li Yan is not in a hurry to rush to the last acquisition station.

After all, the emperor is not starving to death, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed it first, Li Yan is not a workaholic.

What is the purpose of working hard, not for life to get better and better, you fill your stomach first, what is the point of Li Yan's hard work.

"Yanzi, why don't we go back to dinner?"

Hearing Li Yan's words, Li Kuiyong was a mouthful and asked everyone's thoughts.

Li Yan thought for a while, and then said: "Forget it, let's find a restaurant nearby to eat, so as not to waste time and trouble going back and forth." ”

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yan decided to find a restaurant for a simple meal.

"Little Wu, do you know what places to eat around here?"

Li Yan felt that Xiao Wu was more familiar with the neighborhood, so he asked him.

Sure enough, Xiao Wu still didn't mess around in vain.

Hearing Li Yan say this, Xiao Wu introduced a state-run hotel to Li Yan.

Of course, Li Yan had no opinion on this, and as soon as he greeted him, he let Xiao Wu lead the way.

Not long after, Xiao Wu took Li Yan and his party to a state-run hotel.

Li Yan asked Li Kuiyong and his party to find a place to sit down first, and then Li Yan went straight to the window of the hotel and ordered several dishes and two large portions of rice.

Most of the state-run restaurants are like this, you have to buy the order first, and then you will cook, and when you finish doing this, Li Yan walked to the position that Li Kuiyong and they had chosen, sat down and waited with them.

In this era, there were a lot of meals in the restaurant, but it was really a lot of money, but Li Yan considered that they were all a group of guys and had a big appetite, so Li Yan still ordered two servings of rice.

State-run hotels are not like public-private joint ventures, where staff will help serve food and greet people.

State-run restaurants always wait for the meal to be served to the window after it is ready.

In contrast, the attitude of the staff of the state-run hotel is very casual, and when they are in a bad mood, they treat the guests as if they love to eat or not, and they don't eat and pull them down.

The staff of the state-run hotel don't care so much about you, don't you see the obvious line of "Don't beat guests for no reason" written on the wall.

Of course, Li Yan knows the reason, it is nothing more than that the work of state-owned hotels is iron rice bowls, and they are very sought-after, just like the supply and marketing cooperatives, so Li Yan has long been surprised.

After hearing the staff say that the meal was ready, Li Yan called Li Kuiyong to the window and served all the food to the table.

"Let's go, everyone, you're welcome, you've worked hard in the morning."

Hearing Li Yan's greeting, except for Xiao Wu, who was a little unnatural, Li Kuiyong had already begun to move his chopsticks.

Li Kuiyong and the others either grew up with Li Yan since childhood, or they have been working under Li Yan for a short time, and everyone is already familiar with each other, so everyone will not be polite and start eating directly.

Besides, the taste of the food in this restaurant is still good, and most of the meals ordered by Li Yan are meat dishes, in this year, it is not easy to eat a full meal, not to mention that they are still seeing a table of meat dishes now.

If you don't hurry up and build it at this time, isn't there something wrong with your brain?

As for Xiao Wu, because it was the first time to eat with Li Yan and them, and they ate in a restaurant, they were more or less restrained and not so open.

Seeing Xiao Wu's appearance, Li Yan also comforted him a few words, after all, everyone was helping to lead the way in the morning, and they would continue to help Li Yan lead the way in the afternoon, even if there was no merit, there was hard work.

I don't know if Li Yan's persuasion has an effect, or because he saw Li Kuiyong and the fragrance they ate, Xiao Wu couldn't help it, so he saw that Xiao Wu was reserved in front of him, and he didn't be polite in the back, but joined the ranks of dry rice.

Having said that after such a long time, Li Yan has eaten rice at home only a handful, and he usually eats either corn porridge or steamed buns at home.

This made Li Yan, who was a southerner in his previous life, miss the taste of rice for a long time, so today Li Yan specially ordered rice instead of steamed dumplings.

Li Kuiyong and how they ate this meal Li Yan didn't know, but Li Yan made this meal very cool.

After lunch, Li Yan and his group rested for a while, and after a cigarette after dinner, Li Yan asked Xiao Wu to continue to take them to the last acquisition station.

After a journey of about ten minutes, Xiao Wu took Li Yan and them to the last acquisition station.

Seeing this, Li Yan still followed the old way and asked Xiao Wu to wait for them on the side of the road, and then Li Yan took Li Kuiyong and his party to the door of the acquisition station.

Seeing so many people in Li Yan, of course the people at the acquisition station would not be indifferent, and they also came directly to Li Yan and them from the chat.

There are four staff members in this acquisition station, and now they are blocking in front of Li Yan and his party, and they look a little tense on both sides of this posture.

Seeing this scene, Li Yan still decided to salute first and then soldier, after all, he didn't know what the result would be, and Li Yan didn't want to offend people to death first.

So Li Yan said: "Comrade, don't be too excited, we have something to ask you about, I hope you can make it convenient." ”

Li Yan was also the same as before, his eyes kept observing the expressions of these people to see if they were lying to him, or Li Yan also wanted to see if he could see anything unusual from their expressions.

Although Li Yan planned to salute first and then soldier, hearing Li Yan's polite words, the four people at the acquisition station still looked indifferent.
