I am currently working nights/weekends at a language school in China, but am thinking about picking up a second job at a university or public school during the day to supplement my pay. The language school helped me acquire my residence/work permit. Im wondering if the universities/public schools are even allowed to hire me because another company helped me with my visa. Can I do this? Anyone here have any experience with this?

Alot of people do, just be sure that there isn't a clause in your contract that says you can't work someplace else or sign a third party contract. Other thing to consider is from the schools side, ultimately they are responsible for you, if something happens to you at the other school location (some accident for example) then your school might find itself in a strange situation.

I think many schools will let you work outside if they can't offer you opportunities to earn more..

good luck
