Chapter 1557 Heated Discussions (2/2)
The heated conversations went on until Harlan finally showed up to control the situation.
Everyone in the company was well aware that Harlan was Darren's trusted right-hand man. His words easily calmed down the people inside the room.

”Change the packaging of the food,” Darren suddenly said. His eyes were closed now.
”What?” the secretary asked in confusion. She didn't think that a problem so serious could be solved by changing the packaging.
”Select some stores and set up a few stations to measure the sodium content. Do ensure that the quality of the food doesn't decrease. And also, lower the price by ten percent.”
Darren had thought about this plan over and over before he said it out loud. It was indeed costly to set up stations that could measure the sodium content of food. Plus, the discount would diminish their future profits. But he was under a lot of pressure, especially from Bill and the board of directors. If it weren't for the fact that he was cornered into a wall, he wouldn't have made this decision.
