As a high-ranking departmental official, Lin Aiguo publicly spoke out for Qi Tongwei at the school committee meeting, defending him against injustice. Beyond their daily friendship, the most important reason was that Lin was the one who had introduced Qi into the Party.
To question Qi Tongwei's emergency admission into the Party was to question Lin Aiguo of abusing power for personal gain.
Around the same time, Gao Huilian also asked his wife, Wu Huifen, to seek help from her sister, Judge Wu, utilizing her husband's military background to inquire about the specific situation.
Gao Yuliang would never allow his proudest student to be wantonly smeared with dirt, because to deny Qi Tongwei was to deny the highest achievement of his years as an educator.
True friendship is tested in adversity.
Hearing the news, Longtai Group Chairman Zhang Tianhua immediately mobilized his connections and spent his own money to help clear Qi Tongwei's name through the newspapers.
Having transitioned from a researcher to a corporate chairman, his greatest benefactor had been Qi Tongwei.
"No matter how much money it takes, without Brother Qi, there would be no Longtai today. Brother Qi is not only my benefactor, but Longtai's as well."
