It looks like the case that the manager clearly has a wrong perception of Lei’s comments. He assumes that Lei was in agreement with him over the fact that the equipment had to be replaced, which is why the manager ordered the equipment in the first place. Lei could have taken some measures to avoid such situations.
When the manager asked Lei, she could clearly tell that it was not possible for her to accept his request and she should state when it would be possible.
Alternatively, Lei should have put the manager at a stop. She should clearly explain that an investigation was being carried into prices and acquisitions and decision could not be taken till Dalman came up with that report.
Lei could also made manager to accept with her that both would have a discussion again and finalize the proposal once she got report from Dalman.
Lei could also tell the manager that the issue should be discussed over the phone and it was better if both were discussed face to face, possibly at a meeting.
