Huang Meimei, the former accountant of this kindergarten, provided the actual expenditure account statement of the food expenses in November 2010, which showed that the real cost of buying vegetables for that month was only 8040 yuan, 48826 yuan less than the false account statement. According to this calculation, the daily average cost per child was less than 1 yuan. Even if adding the gas fee, oil and rice money, and chef's salary, the actual monthly expenditure was much lower than the 210 yuan each child paid monthly. It was rumored that two education bureau officials had been eating "empty salaries" at the school for two years.

On the 17th, Mo Mou Zhu, the former principal of Creative Art Kindergarten, was on trial at Xiangzhou District Court in Zhuhai. The local procuratorate prosecuted Mo Mou Zhu, the former principal and actual investor of the kindergarten, for embezzlement and fraud.
■ Warning:
After a thorough investigation by the police, it was found that defendant Mo Mou Zhu knew that students in non-compulsory education stages should not be charged for "accidental injury school responsibility insurance", but still collected 30 yuan insurance fees from each student under the pretense of purchasing insurance. She defrauded approximately 60,000 yuan in insurance premiums, of which 4500 yuan was used to buy "school responsibility insurance", and the remaining 55,500 yuan was kept for herself.
The "heartless" principal of the Zhuhai kindergarten who embezzled children's meal expenses was tried at Xiangzhou District Court in Zhuhai, Guangdong Province on the 17th. The prosecution prosecuted the former principal and actual owner, Mo Mou Zhu, for embezzlement and fraud. Defendant Mo Mou Zhu is suspected of using fake procurement documents to exaggerate meal expenses and embezzling 900,000 yuan in children's meal fees, as well as defrauding 60,000 yuan in student insurance premiums.
Xiangzhou District People's Procuratorate accused: In November 2004, defendant Mo Mou Zhu (female, 50 years old, Hong Kong resident) registered and established Zhongshan Creative Art Enterprise Management Consulting Service Co., Ltd. using Xu Mou's identity information, with Mo Mou Zhu being the actual investor. In April 2006, Mo Mou Zhu registered and established Zhuhai Xiangzhou Creative Art Rongtai Chinese-English Kindergarten under the company's name and served as the principal. Between April 2007 and March 2011, Mo Mou Zhu took advantage of her position managing the unit's finances, instructed the kindergarten's financial staff to use false procurement documents to exaggerate student meal expenses, and embezzled a total of 900,000 yuan in student meal fees.
■ Defense:
Such problems are not isolated cases. To let sunlight shine on this place that is often overlooked, several deep-seated issues need to be addressed: first, how to coordinate relevant departments to truly take responsibility for their regulatory duties and implement them effectively; second, how to ensure that kindergarten founders have morality and conscience in their blood at the institutional and legal levels, and properly handle the relationship between profit and social benefits; third, how to indeed increase government support for private kindergartens and coordinate relevant law enforcement departments to take effective compulsory measures against violators and mismanagers.

■ Charge one:
After the incident was exposed, the former accountant Huang Meimei and student parents reported the case to the police station.
Regarding the prosecution's evidence that multiple former financial personnel and material suppliers confirmed they were instructed by Mo Mou Zhu to issue false invoices, Mo Mou Zhu believed someone wanted to force her out of the kindergarten and bribed these people to give false testimony. Regarding the overcharged insurance fees, Mo Mou Zhu argued that all extra charges were used for emergency assistance for the children.
As the police investigation deepened, the former principal and actual investor, Mo Mou Zhu, was approved for arrest by the local procuratorate on charges of embezzlement and fraud.
In court, Mo Mou Zhu defended herself by saying the prosecution's accusation did not match the facts. As the actual investor, she had the right to manage the company's finances, so there was no question of embezzlement. She claimed to have invested more than 4 million yuan in running kindergartens on the mainland to realize her educational ideals, and the kindergarten had always been operating at a loss.
The exposure of the Zhuhai Xiangzhou Creative Art Rongtai Chinese-English Kindergarten (hereinafter referred to as "Creative Art Kindergarten") deducting children's meal expenses drew nationwide attention.
In early May 2011, the "Creative Art Kindergarten" in Zhuhai was exposed by teachers for withholding teacher salaries and deducting children's meal expenses. The former chef also revealed that the children's daily meal costs were only 1 yuan, far from enough to satisfy their hunger. Teachers and parents collectively demanded an explanation from the kindergarten. On May 10, the former accountant Huang Meimei and student parents reported the matter to the police station.
Industry insiders stated that prosecuting a kindergarten principal due to the exposure of deducting children's meal expenses was unprecedented domestically.
