"Mr. Kruger, long time no see~" Eric Pryszka said with a beaming smile as he walked in.
"Eric, I didn't expect to see you here." Kruger's gaze shifted back and forth between Dean and Pryszka.
Indeed, the man was none other than one of the founders of Orion, as well as its former President and CEO, Eric Pryszka.
He had known Dean since the 90s, and had even invested 500,000 US Dollars in the last round of financing before Bit Company went public.
That investment had brought him a return of more than tenfold, so their relationship had always been very close.
This time, if Dean wanted to acquire Orion, he needed someone familiar with the industry's unwritten rules.
Who could be more suitable than the founder of Orion Pictures? He knew all the history and potential risks of the film company.
Kruger set down his glass of wine and sat up straight.
"It's quite surprising that you two are friends," he thought to himself, lowering his expectations for today's deal once again.
