Here's what I know...

That office is on about the 12th floor of a building on the right hand side of Pukou Dao, just off the main street and about the 2nd building down. You have to go around the back to gain entrance to it.

This office consists of a classroom and about 3 offices. It is what can be classed as a satellite office. They do have a main office located elsewhere but this offices location is a secret and only known to the Yuming management and staff, no teachers have any idea where it is, or in many cases of its existence. I found out about it from a manager who left in 2008/09 when she decided she'd had enough of all the crap she had to dole out to the teachers and packed the job in.

The main purpose of having a main and satellite office is simple. If they need to move it is quite a simple job to move the satellite office whilst keeping the main one operating, probably when they have really pissed around a number of teachers and the heat is on.

In the last few years, at least since 08, that satellite office has remained in place, but I have heard on very good authority that prior to that the location of the satellite office was on the move regularly. Again, probably because of all the underhand bullshit they were up to and needed to hide from upset teachers for one reason and another.

Someone else posted either here or elsewhere that they had heard Yuming had started operating under a different name. That is a while ago now and they never came back with any further details so I don't know how true that is, but it wouldn't be surprising.

Many crap schools like Yuming after gaining such a bad rep will often choose to attempt to leave their reputation behind them by changing their name. Luckily however the truth always catches them up very quickly and mainly because their name is all they change, the shit way they operate continues.

I sent Helen an email a couple of days ago to the Yuming address informing her that ex teachers will continue to post up the truth about their organisation wherever they choose to post their crap and they can threaten and bitch about legal action all they like.

The simple fact of the matter is that no-one has posted anything which cannot be easily proven. A quick look by the labor courts at their operation, contract and then comparing that to their website is enough to prove many things for a start, and they know it too which is why all they can do is post empty threats online. Nothing will ever come unto fruition.

There is another board which I posted a link to further down this thread which exposes their attempts to add doubt to the validity of bad press with testimonials from happy teachers. Basically the moderator of the board pointed out that all the posts made had come from the same IP address and a quick trace of that clearly shows the location to be within the vicinity of Hexi. Happy teachers defending their great school indeed :P
