Not sure about the sexual harassment angle you're pushing... it's about trust isn't it? If you have consensual affairs as a CEO, you are still liable to be fired if it becomes public, that's my opinion anyway.

When the CEO starts hitting on you the word "consensual" doesn't really fit anymore.
Yeah you don’t want to be hit by your CEO. But that doesn’t immediately mean the specific case with Huang and his subordinate was a harassment.
What is known now is described a conflict of interest (which is bad already for a CEO). Whether it was a harassment - investigation should show.

Maybe she hit on him. He was not hiding being open to affairs so she may have shot her shot. We just don’t know.

It doesn't matter, he was in a position of extreme power imbalance where he could show her both favoritism or fire her depending on how things went. It's improper and inappropriate at best, and illegal at worst.
