The relationship occurred during a conference in San Jose, California, where they were seen being affectionate at a hotel. Both are married to others, and intelligence agencies reportedly know about other affairs. Huang declined to discuss the relationship directly when contacted by phone. The incident was captured on video by a bystander, but the Times did not see the footage. The company's code of conduct prohibits managers from having relationships with subordinates, and the company states it promptly investigates reports of misconduct.
