Luke, then you need to ask that guy to send you an invitation letter if you don't plan to book your air tickets. Of course a copy of his Chinese ID is required. Honestly, the consular officers decide how long you can stay no matter you try to apply for a three months or one year L type. Usually, duration of the L type can be 30 or 60 days. Its validity can be three months, six months and 12 months.
