Ela, if you get married with your GF, you can apply for Q1 or Q2 type. Q1 allows you to stay more than 180 days while Q2 just enables you to stay as long as 180 days. Unfortunately, you can't work under Q type. If you plan to work, you should apply for a Z type directly. It takes around 4 working days for Chinese embassy to deal with your application. If you got Q1, then you should change it into a resident permit within 30 days after you arrive in PRC. To some extent, your wife's financial situation influence how long you can stay.
