Chapter 85

Zhao An had moved into a new home. Over a dozen staff members from the Prefecture Academy were dispatched to help Principal Zhao and his family of three move in. As a Professor of the seventh rank, he was entitled to a nanny, a driver, and security guards. Naturally, a man of the Principal's stature did not need to handle such trifles personally; Academician Ma, the Vice Principal, arranged everything. In total, the Principal’s household was provided with a cook, a cleaning lady, two gate guards, and a dedicated coachman. All expenses were covered by the Prefecture Academy, and even the daily supplies for the Principal’s household—oil, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, rice, flour, fruit, and vegetables—were provided by the Academy’s canteen. If it had been any other official, they would surely have brought their relatives from back home to enjoy the benefits. However, because Zhao An’s identity was questionable, he could not afford the "one man attains the Tao, and his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" brand of nepotism.
