Qi Tian is a minor character, the president of Liwen Company and a childhood friend of Wang Baichuan, though Wang claims they are close while Qi Tian denies it. He is initially dismissive and rude to Wang Baichuan on the phone, comparing Wang's claim of knowing Meng Yancheng to claiming he is drinking with Elon Musk. However, his tone instantly shifts to reverence when he realizes Meng Yancheng is on the line. He agrees to give Wang Baichuan a thirty percent kickback from a twenty thousand profit project, showing his understanding of business corruption practices. He is portrayed as someone who can be dealt with by Meng Yancheng and is willing to play along with the corrupt system while maintaining outward gratitude.
