After I lost my job, the country urged me to travel every day

Chapter 154: First time as an "agent"

After walking through the entire venue, we arrived at the entrance to the auction venue. Unexpectedly, this place was surrounded by several black-clad bodyguards and the door was tightly closed.

Bai Yaoyao stopped in her tracks. It seemed that she couldn't go there in advance to familiarize herself with the layout. She could only come early tomorrow. Bai Yaoyao turned around and left...

The exhibition lasts for 3 days in total. The auction is scheduled at 2 pm on the first day, and admission is limited to 1 pm.

On the day of the auction, Zhang Zhaoxing went to the venue early. Bai Yaoyao couldn't sleep in the middle of the night because she was thinking about the mission.

I didn’t go with Zhang Zhaoxing in the morning, but had a good sleep and rested my energy.

After finishing packing at 11 o'clock and having lunch at the hotel, Bai Yaoyao set out to the Phoenix Jewelry booth to find Zhang Zhaoxing.

Although Zhang Zhaoxing had given her the admission card to the auction yesterday afternoon, according to Lingmao and Gu Chengfeng's arrangements, it would be better for her to enter with Zhang Zhaoxing.

In this way, even if there are any deviations in their plans, it has nothing to do with Bai Yaoyao, because her identity is just an exhibitor of Phoenix Jewelry.

The trade fair was packed with people, but only a handful of people were able to enter the auction.

Zhang Zhaoxing and Bai Yaoyao arrived at the venue early. The black-clad bodyguards at the entrance of the auction hall checked their admission cards before letting them in.

There was a rather long passage between the entrance and the auction venue, with a row of waitresses in tube top suspender dresses standing on each side of the passage.

As soon as the two of them walked into the aisle, a man came forward, looked at their seat numbers, and led them forward.

Keep walking along the passage until you reach the end of it, and you will see a clear view in front of you.

Soothing music sounded in my ears. The entire auction hall was brightly lit by incandescent lights. The venue was oval in shape, with a platform about three or four meters in front and a huge LED screen at the back with a few large words on it: "International Jewelry Auction".

The auction table was covered with a red carpet, and in the middle was a transparent display stand, which was still empty at the moment.

Bai Yaoyao walked and looked around. Unlike the exhibition hall outside, the auction hall inside was divided into two floors.

There are round off-white tables neatly arranged on the first floor, and next to each table are four chairs of the same color. The chairs have numbers labeled in red ovals on the upper left corners.

There is a special electronic auction machine on the table with four buttons of different colors, representing the amount of bid increase. During the auction, pressing the corresponding button will be synchronized to the large screen in the center of the venue.

The waiter led Zhang Zhaoxing and Bai Yaoyao to the round table on the outer right side of the venue. After briefly introducing the operating rules of the electronic auction device to them, he bowed and left.

Bai Yaoyao sat down and looked around. Because the two of them had arrived relatively early, there were only a few people in the huge venue, and most of them were on the same side as them.

Bai Yaoyao asked in a low voice, "Boss Zhang, is there anything particular about the location distribution here?"

Zhang Zhaoxing was concentrating on the order and introduction of the items that the waiter had just given to the two of them. When he heard Bai Yaoyao's question, he looked up and looked around, then pointed forward:

"The area in front of the first floor is for ordinary bidders, and the second floor is for the private rooms for the wealthy. Our area is basically occupied by exhibitors who provide auction items. Don't you notice that the tables and chairs here are much more densely distributed?"

Bai Yaoyao nodded, looked around, and found that the place where they were was indeed much narrower than the place they had just passed by.

She recalled Gu Chengfeng's hand-drawn picture in her mind. Because he was worried about it being leaked, Gu Chengfeng did not leave the hand-drawn picture to Bai Yaoyao, but just asked her to remember it in her mind.

Fortunately, after eating the holy fruit of the elves, her memory has improved a lot. It can't be said that she has photographic memory, but she can basically remember the content she has seen in a short period of time.

Bai Yaoyao matched the on-site layout with the hand-drawn map one by one, and soon found the bathroom that Gu Chengfeng had circled in red.

However, they did find the restroom, which was diagonally opposite to where Bai Yaoyao was. To get there from where she was sitting, one had to cross most of the venue.

What was even more embarrassing was that the venue was very large and there were three restrooms, one of which was right behind her.

Bai Yaoyao pursed her lips, her mind racing. How could she quietly walk around most of the venue to the restroom over there and put all her things in?

Because he was worried about something unexpected happening at the scene, Gu Chengfeng simply asked Bai Yaoyao to put the things there before the auction started, without specifying a specific time.

She resisted the urge to go over immediately and stayed put, waiting for more people to come before taking action. With so few people in the venue now, any move would be too obvious.

Zhang Zhaoxing seemed a little nervous. He kept pulling Bai Yaoyao to discuss the value of each item. From time to time, he would turn to the "Crown" page for comparison.

While dealing with him, Bai Yaoyao was paying close attention to everything around her, and everyone seemed to be Gu Chengfeng and the others in disguise.

As time drew closer to the opening time, the venue gradually became crowded with people dressed in various costumes. Some sat in their seats and watched the auction catalog quietly, while others gathered in groups of three or five, talking in low voices and nodding to passers-by from time to time.

The seats on the first floor of the venue were almost full. Bai Yaoyao looked at the time and it was already 13:30.

It’s almost time. We can’t wait any longer. If we don’t put the things over now, it might delay Gu Chengfeng and the others’ important plans.

Bai Yaoyao was just about to tell Zhang Zhaoxing that she was going to the bathroom when she saw Li Dapeng, whom she had met yesterday, coming towards her with a big smile on his face.

"Brother Zhang, you're here so early?"

Zhang Zhaoxing stood up and prepared to greet him. Bai Yaoyao also stood up and gently tucked her long hair that was hanging in front of her behind her ears.

Taking this opportunity, he whispered something to Zhang Zhaoxing, then turned around and left his seat, pretending to walk towards the toilet behind him.

Then, when a tall black man passed by her and blocked her way, she turned a corner and went to the bathroom opposite from the side.

At this time, people were walking around and chatting in the venue.

Therefore, Bai Yaoyao's movements were not conspicuous and did not attract anyone's attention.

The restroom where you need to store your things is on the outside of the venue. There is a small door on the right hand side, which is ajar, and it looks like a terrace from the outside.

Turn left and the restroom is inside.

Maybe it’s because we just entered the venue and the location of this restroom is quite remote.

So luckily, there was no one inside.

After checking each toilet cubicle one by one, Bai Yaoyao carefully took out the key to the tool room that Gu Chengfeng gave her from the space, quickly opened the tool room, and flashed in.

After closing and locking the door, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This was the first time in Bai Yaoyao’s life that she did something like an “agent” and she was very nervous, fearing that she would be discovered.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly.

Bai Yaoyao looked around. There weren't many things in the cleaning tool room. Hanging on the wall were tools for daily cleaning.

There is a pool in the upper left corner. Next to the pool is a garbage truck.

Bai Yaoyao placed his hand on the sweeper, put it into the system backpack, and then squatted down.

I found some loose tiles in the corners...
