Li Yiqiao is Fan Shengmei's old classmate who reappears as she is leaving for Nantong. He is now a successful corporate elite, dressed in a sharp, hand-tailored suit with slicked-back hair and polished shoes. He drives a sleek luxury car and clearly takes pride in his appearance and success. He greets Shengmei warmly, saying long time no see, and shows off his polished look. He appears to have maintained a connection with Shengmei from their past, and his transformation from classmate to corporate elite is notable. Shengmei notes that unlike Wang Baichuan, who also wore suits, Li Yiqiao carries a commanding presence that commands attention.
