The Registrar in charge of announcing the results was starting to panic.
For many years, the Song Family Kiln Factory had been making porcelain for the Imperial Kiln Factory. No matter what extraordinary objects were needed in the palace, as long as the Song Family Kiln Factory was there, there was someone to back them up.

Who else had the capabilities of the Song Family Kiln Factory?
He held a thin sheet of paper in his hand, his voice stuck in his throat as if blocked, unable to simply announce today's successful kiln factory bid—once he declared the results, the Imperial Kiln Factory's choice would be set in stone. To change it would be like shamefully slapping his own face!
