Three days later, their interview aired on CCTV-1, but only the first 30 minutes. The latter ten minutes were instead posted on CCTV's forum and official website. As soon as this announcement was made, the entire internet was abuzz with excitement.
As netizens were astounded by the couple's impressive resumes, Sina Weibo approached them and created verified personal Weibo accounts for them.
Zhou Mo, because Tsinghua's official Weibo account had shared the CCTV interview and tagged his new Weibo, managed to attract five hundred thousand followers within just a few days.
Of course, most of those who followed him were professionals from his field.
As for Yiyi, although official Weibo accounts also mentioned her, she didn't have nearly the same level of fame as Zhou Mo. However, thanks to her membership in the calligraphy association, she drew official attention too. Even with only one hundred thousand followers, she was quite surprised.
