Yeah, I might be out of touch with the real situation in China at present time. I exited China in June, 2017, but ...
Rules for WP, Z visa and RP later on are centralized across China. Employer can file WP application and more only online. No province or city can overrule that and issue Working permit to a non-English native foreigner unless they do some shady paperwork ...

No, you are not ... illegible to legally work in China as an ET.
Rules to obtain ET Z (Working) visa are centralized across China, i.e. rules don't differ from province to province, city to city.
For a legal ET job in China, one must hold a native English passport (UK, USA, Canada, Ozz, New Zealand or S. Africa), as first.
Non-native English...

That is a typical Chinese style blackmail!
I wouldn't worry for the WP application expiration at all!
WP application doesn't expire. It is either approved or rejected and that is known fairly fast, 2-weeks time the longest.
I'd find another employer, Z visa sponsor ASAP, sign new contract and start with WP application all over again.

I don't think, it will work without exiting China.
1. As I am aware, you can get Z visa only out of China, at any Chinese embassy abroad.
Chinese embassy in Hong Kong's Wanchai is the closest one.
2. To get Z visa, you will need a sponsor, Company, which will employ you and supply all the documents necessary to obtain Z visa.

It happened to me, once ... in 2014 or 15 ...
Plane from end-of-RP city (Tianjin) had more than 10h delay at take-off, and I came to the HK's exit Luohu some 7 hours after the RP expiration date.
In real, I came to the exit crossing just on time or maybe only an hour late, but Luohu is closed overnight (10pm - 6am), which I didn't anticipate.
There were two unexpected...

Yes, you can get legal ET job by the Chinese Labor law.
Problem is, most Chinese managers and recruiters don't know, they can obtain Working permit for a non-native English passport holder, teacher with BA completed in a native English country.
I'd suggest, you mention possibility of legal employment for non-native English teacher with degree...

unless you are married to a local, your parents can only stay as long as you are (legally) working there.
if you are not married to a local, once your visa expires and you exit, your parents would have to leave too.
This is not 'retiring' to China as most people would understand it, as it is contingent on your presence.

On the contrary @Blondies, I have to say, I've negotiated with Chinese employers over my pay. I didn't really want to negotiate, but ... in 2013, I finished the contract in Xinjiang with pay at 8k per month and half pay for each of the 3-months of recess on 14 classes (45') per week, no office hours, with all standard perks included, what was my best contract at the time.

do you have evidence, or are you putting 2 and 2 together and making 5?
I don't condone any kind of abuse, but be sure that you have strong evidence before acting or accusing someone.
you say "I know of a teacher ......" meaning are you basing your suspicions on a second hand account or something you have witnessed, or is it 'drunk talk' /...

No, you won't be able to work at other companies other than only at the one which sponsored your Z visa and other permits for it!
You can legally work only at the Z visa sponsor, working anywhere else (even with the consent of your primary employer!) is illegal.

What is 'formal offer letter'?
Only legally accepted employment offer I am aware is a Contract!
... so, you just don't accept and sign contract with the lower salary!
Email exchanges, verbal discussions and other promises between you and employer aren't legally binding, so legal action isn't recommended.
