Think you need to leave. Do the whole Z process again.
If you quit, your RP will be converted to an L visa. Without the expert book, not sure you can get another RP.
Paging Icknif77.
I answered to get your question on the main board. Once there, you will get rapid answers from people smarter than me.
Good luck.
You must either get new Residence permit sponsor (who'll extend your RP for the new Contract duration) or you must exit China, before the last 30-days visa/extension expiration.
RP is given for the duration of the Contract, or in other words one is required to be in the classroom on the last day of RP.
30-days L (or 30-days RP extension) is given either for changing RP sponsor/employer or traveling/preparing for exit from China.
As I know, you can't apply for Chinese visa in China (except in Embassy in HK). That is the reason, you won't get another L and you're required to exit China before the end of the last 30-days visa.
Bon voyage!
