Prompts: In a stunningly beautiful, vast, and undulating high mountain meadow, with changing contours of distant mountains and gorgeous natural scenery, there stands a large rectangular mirror upright at 90 degrees in the center of the scene. The front of the mirror faces directly towards the camera. The mirror has no frame, only the pure mirror surface itself, and it is set among the grasses. There are no living creatures on the meadow, and the mirror does not reflect the surrounding environment. Inside the mirror, there is a modernly decorated conference room styled similar to an Apple office--sleek and clean, with 8-10 people sitting around a conference table having a meeting. The camera angle is a pure frontal perspective, shot with a Canon 50mm lens.
