"Britney wants to get back to work," a friend of the Spears family tells Us. "People close to Britney know that Larry is the best person for her. He's the man who can get her back on the right track career-wise."
The two — who stopped talking last year after Spears blamed him for forcing her into rehab — had a "mostly personal meeting," the source adds. "They had a normal conversation, and it was very friendly and warm. There was no animosity."
Rudolph, who is credited for discovering Spears, managed her career for 9 years.
