The info I have does not agree fully with what you say, as regards IELTS School. It's true Harry has lost contracts with public schools in the Yuncheng Area. But there is a logical reason for that. It's because the local education bureau has forbidden public schools from adding on extra fees for foreign teachers' oral classes to pay for foreign teachers' classes. So schools won't do contracts with IELTS and EV. However, the aforementioned restriction has now been removed, and in the light of this, I think that Harry/River will be very busy these days going round the schools to obtain new contracts. I heard that Harry has already been awarded a contract for the best public middle school in Yuncheng City, after having lost it.

As for your visa scaremongering, I dismiss that, as local relationships continue to hold firm to protect foreigners teaching without z visas or relevent Residence Permits is what I've been told. Those two agents are extremely careful about that, and they obviously need to be!

I have a 3 year Bachelor's Degree from a university in the UK, which is of course acceptable! It needn't be a 4-year university degree! Finally, Houma is in a different administrative region as regards education from the Yuncheng Area, as of course is Linfen.
