       Things are different now, from the 9-to-5 working time, to the sitters in the office buildings. In the past, the office sitters, usually the liberal art staff, are basically secretaries, clerks and some assistants involving routine and stereotypical paperwork. But the liberal art is now somehow exiled by the unstoppably upgrading science and technology from the desktops. Random check any CBD buildings, the hosts are increasingly becoming young and single-minded programmers, designers, product managers, editors and all kinds of engineers.

       Yes, the Internet Age invaded the earth, and the engineers invaded the office. Since the engineers, together with the computers as accomplices colonized the all-inclusive offices, even some office sitters with arts majors are infected with the mouth-closing habit. The computer, especially the PC, is seemingly endowed with a nameless magic to quiet any talkative and excited ones. Unlike the screen of film or TV, which fascinates the crowd and arouses the topics, the PC, is undoubtedly a privacy which will say no to everyone except its only host, player, watcher or administrator.   

       The offices packed with such engineers then may be described as dull, depressing, toneless and lifeless. The engineers themselves may be tagged as all-nighter, science geek, bread winner or dream weaver, but the fundamental description should be: silencer. These legitimate cellmates, fixing in their cubicles, can remain wordless all day long. The teacup seems the only mouth opener, besides the cell phone. The “silent movie” predominates the “office prison” and answering a call of nature is the only “action movie”.   

       Do you really want to work with these poker-faced inmates, or, you want become one of them?

       Therefore the tagline to destroy these tags is: show your I Plus G.

        I Plus G, originally, refers to the newest scientific achievement and is a new-aged food flavor enhancer of nucleotide. With the byname “Disodium 5’-Ribonucleotide”, this product consists of 5’-IMP and 5’-GMP as per proportion of 1:1. It can be added into food directly, which will make an obvious contribution to food taste. It is often used together with MSG, and the mixture is called "extract MSG". In addition, this product has a good effect to cure chronic hepatitis, muscular atrophy, and have a fairly high curative effect on eye-disease.

       Yes, in order to stir up the backwater and awaken the dormant volcano, you need do something. You should try to be a jolly dog, a joke teller, an energizer, or even a clown. You should be the one who makes everyone in the cell believe that everyday is Fool’s Day, Halloween or Christmas Eve. Because of you, the inmates eager to open their mouths not because of drinking water, the cellmates itch to move their legs not because of making water. Consequently, you make yourself full of “I PLUS G” which really “has a good effect to cure chronic hepatitis, muscular atrophy, and have a fairly high curative effect on eye-disease”. And should everyone join you to make your office “off ice”, you can turn your lonely place into brilliant palace, turn your wasteland into wonderland!

       Yes, for you, young man, I+G means “Interesting plus Genial”.
