Mr. Lu, the World's Sweetest Man

Chapter 44



But, now that these ordinary girls knew that Lu Zhanting was coming, their eyes lit up with joy.

The girl with the long, straight hair could no longer restrain herself. “Are you guys referring to that guy, the youngest director to be appointed since the founding of our school?” she asked. “He was guaranteed a place in our school at the age of fourteen but decided to forfeit that right and go through the entrance exams like everyone else. He completed his course in one year and then spent the next two years obtaining a master’s degree and a doctorate at two of the best colleges in the US. When he was barely eighteen, he came home and took the helm of his family business. Are you referring to Lu Zhanting?”

The list of achievements and accolades made all the girls swoon.

However, Lu Zhangting’s looks and physique make the girls drool even more than his academic achievements did.

His handsome face, with chiseled and perfectly proportioned features, was a display of ultimate masculine beauty. His hard facial features, similar to that of a Greek god’s, made him look a bit cold and aloof, and was so mesmerizing that it was hard to tear one’s eyes away.

“Wow, he’s really coming! He’s definitely lived up to his title of Honorary Director, because he’s never visited the university.”

Yun Wei, who was listening from the side, was amused. So, it appeared that this Honorary Director had never visited the university.

But then, why was he doing so this time?

“Oh, oh, oh. I heard that Lu Zhanting is still single and has never been seen with a woman at his side. This time, if he really turns up, I wonder if he’ll be interested in me,” someone joked.

Yun Wei also thought it quite unusual. Her place of residence was right next to the university.

And Lu Zhanting had been living there with her for quite some time now. It was strange that no one was even aware that he lived right next to the university.

The curly-haired girl smiled. “That’s right. He might show an interest in someone from our class. Anyone that Lu Zhanting takes an interest in would truly be hugely blessed.”

Hua Shasha appeared to share the same thought.

Yun Wei smiled. Did Hua Shasha think that she had what it took to be acquainted with Lu Zhanting?

Oh, just dream on!

“Come on, let’s go. Let’s go outside and stand in line. All the directors have arrived.” Someone shouted.

Yun Wei followed the crowd and went outside.

True enough, after they’d formed a line in the courtyard outside, in a display of pompous ceremony, the Dean and Honorary Directors were ushered onto the stage.

Amongst the group comprising the Dean and Honorary Directors, the youngest was over fifty years old while the oldest was seventy, pushing eighty.

But Lu Zhanting was the exception. Positioned in the middle of the group, he was the tallest of them all and had the presence of a leader.

In the group, he was the youngest and also the best looking one.

Even against someone his own age, much less this group of Honorary Directors and the Dean, Lu Zhanting would win with his height and looks.

As soon as they saw Lu Zhanting, almost all the girls unanimously let out a long “Wow…”

Which was followed by a cacophony of animated discussion.

It was only when the Dean and Honorary Directors had been seated, and the Dean was about to make his speech, that the noise quieted down.

Just as Yun Wei looked toward the stage, her gaze collided with Lu Zhanting’s.

His deep-set, pitch-black eyes looked searchingly at Yun Wei as they locked gazes.

With a hint of a smile, Yun Wei wondered if he’d been concerned about how she would handle the two trouble-makers Bai Wenping and Hua Shasha in school and had made this special visit to see for himself?

The girl next to her rested her face on her hand, looking mesmerized. “Quick, everyone. Look,” she exclaimed. “Master Ting is looking at me. He’s looking in my direction. He must’ve taken notice of me.”
