The design company from Xuchang, called "Dingyuan Space," sent three people.

The leader's surname was He, named He Mingyuan, in his early forties, wearing a gray linen jacket over a black turtleneck. His hair was half gray, but he was full of energy.

He brought along two young designers, one male and one female. The man carried measuring equipment, while the woman dragged a suitcase filled with tubes of blueprints.

The three of them set off from Xuchang at seven in the morning, driving an hour to Yunmeng County.
